Former director of leading Chinese museum jailed 3 years after art-selling scandal
A former director of a state-owned museum at the centre of a rare high-profile art scandal was sentenced to three years in prison, Chinese state media said on Wednesday.
Xu Huping was found to have abused his position at the Nanjing Museum in eastern Jiangsu province and taken bribes, including money and property, for helping others secure projects and business collaborations.
He was sentenced to prison for three years and fined 200,000 yuan (US$29,800), according to state news agency Xinhua.
