life imprisonment 无期徒刑

Bo Xilai, former secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and a former member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, was sentenced to life imprisonment¹ on Sunday for bribery², embezzlement³ and abuse of power.

 

中共中央政治局原委员、重庆市委原书记薄熙来因犯受贿罪、贪污罪、滥用职权罪，于周日被判处无期徒刑。

 

济南中院宣布判决（announce the verdict），对薄熙来执行无期徒刑（life imprisonment），剥夺政治权利终身（be deprived of political rights for life），并处没收个人全部财产（his personal assets were also confiscated⁴）。这是对其受贿罪（bribery）、贪污罪（embezzlement）、滥用职权罪（abuse of power）数罪并罚（joinder of punishment for plural⁵ crimes）的结果。
