Yang Jiacai, former assistant chairman of the then China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC), was found guilty of accepting bribes of about 23 million yuan (US$3.4 million), according to an online report by the official Securities Times.
The report cited the Puyang Intermediate People’s Court in central China’s Henan province, which was not immediately available for comment on Thursday.
