BEIJING: A Chinese court Wednesday upheld the suspended death sentence for corruption of a former Beijing vice mayor who supervised Olympic construction projects, the man's lawyer said.

The Hebei High Court rejected Liu Zhihua's appeal against the sentence, which was handed down by the lower court that found him guilty of taking 7 million yuan ($1 million) in bribes, Liu's lawyer Mo Shaoping said in a phone interview.

Liu's death sentence, handed down in October, will be suspended for the next two years. If he shows good behavior during that time, it will be commuted to life in prison.

"The court believed that in the first trial, the facts were clear, the evidence was sufficient, and the sentence was appropriate," Mo said.
