A former vice governor of south China's Hainan Province stood trial on Wednesday accused of accepting about 86 million yuan (13.1 million U.S. dollars) in bribes.

Tan Li's case was heard by the Intermediate People's Court of Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province.

Prosecutors accused Tan of accepting the bribes from 10 companies while in a number of different posts between 2001 and 2014. Before becoming vice governor of Hainan, his posts in this period included publicity head of Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, and Communist Party of China chief in the Sichuan cities Guang'an and Mianyang.

In return for the money, Tan helped the companies in project bids and arbitrations, according to the prosecutors.

Tan, who was removed from his post as vice governor in July 2014, pleaded guilty in court.

The verdict will be given on another day.
