The former chairman of New China Life Insurance, Li Quan, has been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on corruption charges by a court in Shandong.
The court said Quan took more than 200m yuan through embezzlement and bribes from 2010 to 2024.
Furthermore, from June 2015 to March 2024, Quan took advantage of his position as president and chairman of Xinhua Asset Management (Hong Kong) to misappropriate 108m yuan through fraudulent schemes.
Quan’s case adds to a growing list of senior financial executives caught in an intensified corruption crackdown on the sprawling financial sector since 2021.
