A female official, in Qingyuan City of south China's Guangdong Province, was sentenced to death Friday on charges of embezzlement and all her personal property was confiscated, according to the verdict of the Guanzhou Municipal Intermediate People's Court at the first trial.

Between April 1998 and Dec. 2002, Bao on a number of occasions abused her power to trade for bribes of cash or directly embezzle public funds with fraudulent finance tricks, according to the court.

She was accused of grafting a total of 9.6 million yuan (US$1.2 million) and misappropriating 2 million yuan (US$241,000), according to the court.
