'Black funds' trio to serve more time

Three former senior executives of a fund corporation who were already in prison after being convicted in Beijing's first "black funds" case have been sentenced to additional time after four more victims came forward.

The three, Chen Qingchun, Qiao Tongtong and Zhao Xiaoyang, were already serving terms of between four and five-and-a-half years and had each been fined 1.05 million yuan following their convictions in 2008.

Chen will now serve a total of six years, Qiao will serve five and Zhao will do five-and-a-half years.
