Former deputy head of China's national political advisory body Ling Jihua was sentenced to life imprisonment on Monday for taking bribes, illegally obtaining state secrets and abuse of power.
Ling accepted bribes totalling over 77.08 million yuan (11.6 million U.S. dollars) personally and through his family, according to the first-instance ruling by the First Intermediate People's Court of Tianjin.
He pled guilty and decided not to appeal, the court said.
"I accept all the charges and submit to the judgement," Ling said in his final statement. "Today's trial will be engraved in my memory."
He said the trial was "solemn, meticulous, rational and civilized," embodying a combination of rule of law and humanitarian treatment.
"I sincerely thank the court, the procuratorate and [my] two attorneys," Ling said. (Updated)
