Macau minister jailed for corruption

Macau's highest court found a former minister guilty Wednesday of taking tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks in the Chinese gambling enclave's biggest-ever corruption case.

The court sentenced Ao Man-long to 27 years in jail.

Ao, a former transport and public works secretary, was convicted on 40 counts of taking bribes, laundering money and abusing his power to help property developers win lucrative construction deals.
