Liu Han
Liu Han ( Chinese 刘汉 , Pinyin Liú Hàn ; born October 25, 1965 in Guanghan , People's Republic of China ; † February 9, 2015 ) was a Chinese entrepreneur and head of the Hanlong Group .
In 2012, he was ranked 148th on Forbes' list of the richest people in the world . He was charged in May 2014 by the Xianning Intermediate People's Court in central China's Hubei Province of leading a mafia-like gang and of ordering several murders since 1993. In the first instance, the court surprisingly did not sentence him and his brother to the death penalty with a two-year deferral, which, according to Chinese case law, means conversion to life imprisonment , but instead imposed the maximum sentence. On February 9, 2015, he, his brother and three other convicts were executed .
