The number

800 million yuan

Former banker Gao Shan was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a court in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, on Friday for embezzling 800 million yuan ($130.4 million) from 2000 to 2004. The former chief of a Bank of China sub-branch fled to Canada with the money before turning himself in to Chinese police in 2012. Gao's case prompted Chinese authorities to intensify their efforts to track down fugitive officials and pay more attention to so-called naked officials, who have spouses and children living overseas.
