A court hearing was held for Yu Zhendong, former head of the Kaiping city branch of the Bank of China (BOC) in Guangdong Province, who was accused of embezzlement of public funds.
Yu is the first corrupt Chinese official to have been repatriated to China after fleeing the Chinese mainland. He was handed over by the federal police of the United States to the custody of their Chinese counterpart at the Beijing International Airport in April last year.
