Hao Jinglong, formerly an accountant at the Zhenjiang branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, was condemned to death, as was his brother, Hao Jingwen, the newspaper said. The Yangzhou Intermediate Court in Jiangsu province also confiscated 40,000 yuan from Hao. The two opened 16 accounts under various names in a branch of the bank in September and later broke into the branch to install a controlling device in a bank computer terminal, the newspaper said. They used the device to electronically wire 720,000 yuan in non-existent deposits into the bank accounts. Afterward, they successfully withdrew 260,000 yuan from eight different branches of the bank, the newspaper said. All the money has since been recovered, the newspaper said, without giving further details. Copyright© 1998 Reuters Limited.
