Corrupt Bank Employee Executed

Liang Sihan, an official with the Bank of China's (BOC) Zhuhai branch, was executed for helping defraud his bank of US$10.3 million, Xinhua reported.

Liang, former section chief of the bank's international transaction department, issued 31 fraudulent Letters of Credit totaling US$34.4 million and 6.84 million euros for two trade companies using the password of his supervisor.

In return, Liang received 5.79 million yuan (US$700,000) in bribes from the two companies. The fraudulent letters of credit caused a loss of US$10.3 million for the bank. The death sentenced was handed down in the midst a high-profile government campaign against corruption.

Also executed was Wang Liming, a former accounting officer at the China Construction Bank's Henan branch, who conspired with others to steal 20 million yuan from the bank using fraudulent papers, Xinhua said in a report on its Web site Tuesday.

Another Construction Bank employee, Wang Xiang, was executed for stealing 20 million yuan from the bank in an unrelated case.
