Cosmetics smuggler's sentence reduced

A former flight attendant who was sentenced last year to 11 years in prison for smuggling cosmetics had her sentence reduced to three years in a retrial, a Beijing court announced on Tuesday.

Li Xiaohang, a former Hainan Airlines flight attendant, said she will appeal the latest sentence.

Beijing No 2 Intermediate People's Court also reduced her fine from 500,000 yuan ($82,300) to 40,000 yuan.
