ZHENGZHOU -- Disgraced former Guangdong Party bigwig Zhou Zhenhong was sentenced to death with two years' reprieve on Friday for taking bribes.

Zhou, former head of the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) of Guangdong provincial committee, took bribes worth of more than 24.6 million yuan ($4.3 million) between 2002 and 2011, according to Xinyang Intermediate People's Court in Henan Province.

The court also ruled that Zhou could not provide a proper explanation for other assets worth more than 37 million yuan.

All the money has since been recovered, and the court ordered for the confiscation of all of Zhou's personal property.
