Luo Yin'guo (; born April 1954) is a disgraced Chinese politician, mostly known for his tenure as the Communist Party Secretary of Maoming, a city in Guangdong province, between 2007 and 2011. He was convicted of corruption and received a death sentence with reprieve in July 2013. ==Biography== Luo was born in Gaozhou, Guangdong province, considered part of the municipal region of Maoming. Luo first worked as an elementary school teacher, then worked as part of a rural commune in his home county. In 1990 he was named county governor of Gaozhou. When the county earned "city" status in 1993, Luo became its first Mayor, and a year later became Communist Party Secretary of Gaozhou. In 1998 he became the Secretary-General of the Maoming Party Committee, and in 2001, became deputy Party Secretary of Maoming. Between 2003 and 2007 Luo served as Mayor of Maoming, then he was promoted to Party Secretary. On February 11, 2011, Luo was arrested by prosecution authorities to face corruption-related charges. Maoming had been on the radar of provincial disciplinary authorities beginning in 2009, as the city was believed to be the site of widespread buying and selling of official posts. Since 2009, hundreds of officials in the city had been investigated or charged. It was suspected that Luo's "corrupt earnings" totaled over 100 million yuan (~$16 million). In July 2013, Luo was convicted of bribery and "amassing wealth of unclear origin," and was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.〔 While in prison, Luo worked a day job putting together light bulbs. In an interview with ''Xinkuaibao'', a local newspaper, Luo denied allegations that he was a ''luoguan''. He said he missed his wife, who was also in prison, and that the two could only communicate by letter once every two or three months. He also said that some of his prison mates still addressed him "Mr. Secretary," while others called him "old Luo". Other Party Secretaries of Maoming, Zhou Zhenhong and Liang Yimin, were also investigated for corruption in 2012 and 2014, respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luo Yinguo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
