Death sentence for fraud upheld
A court said on Tuesday that it has upheld the death sentence, with a two-year reprieve, for a businesswoman over a financial fraud. The Jiangsu High People's Court dismissed Gu Chunfang's appeal for leniency, and upheld the first verdict by Suzhou Intermediate People's Court in October. The 42-year-old businesswoman was charged with financial fraud involving 1.7 billion yuan ($273 million).
