Carrefour supervisors prosecuted

Eight supervisors of Carrefour stores in Beijing received jail sentences of one to five years on Monday, for taking bribes from suppliers.

Seven worked in the meat-procurement departments of the stores and one at the Carrefour Beijing City Commission Unit, a purchasing and operations department.

The Chaoyang District People's Court heard they took bribes from two suppliers from May 2005 to July last year, to promote their products.
