上海市第二中级人民法院5日对74岁的国企女高管吴小莉被控贪污4600万元人民币一案作出一审判决：吴小莉被判处无期徒刑。

Shanghai (CNS) -- Former state-owned enterprise executive Wu Xiaoli, 74, was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption by the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court on Tuesday.

Wu was charged with embezzling 46 million yuan (US$7.3 million) while working as legal representative and later general manager of Shanghai Guanxin Construction Supervision.
