A court in central China upheld the verdict in the case of an official who was sentenced to three years in prison for dereliction of duty in an electoral fraud.


The ruling was delivered by Higher People's Court of Hunan Province on Thursday.


Xiao Bin, a former Standing Committee member of the Hengyang Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and also head of the anti-graft body, neglected his duty by failing to properly oversee and stop election fraud, the court announced, upholding the first trial decision.


The fraud in Hengyang is one of the largest case in China in terms of people and money involved.


Investigations showed 56 candidates from Hengyang bribed 518 lawmakers and 68 staff at the Hunan provincial people's congress. The amount of money involved in the bribery exceeded 110 million yuan (18 million US dollars).
