Death sentence for former Guangzhou mayor over massive corruption uncovered
In China, former Guangzhou mayor Zhang Zi was sentenced to death after authorities discovered 13.5 tonnes of gold bars, 23 tonnes of cash, a portfolio of luxury real estate in China and abroad, and a collection of premium cars during a search. This marks one of the most significant anti-corruption cases in recent years.
Zhang Zi was accused of bribery, abuse of power, and embezzlement on a massive scale, leading to this severe penalty. The sentence reflects the Chinese government's strong stance on combating corruption at the highest levels of government.
This case may serve as a warning to other officials and reinforce the ongoing and intensifying anti-corruption campaign in the country.
