How many years is it to embezzle public funds for 30 million?

Be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment.

Embezzlement of public funds of 30 million yuan, a huge amount, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 or life imprisonment. Although the starting penalty for embezzlement varies from place to place, the amount of 30 million yuan is extremely huge, and the sentence will last for more than ten years. However, if there are circumstances such as meritorious service and surrender, the sentencing standard can still be lowered.

State functionaries who, taking advantage of their positions, misappropriate public funds for personal use for illegal activities, or misappropriate a large amount of public funds for profit-making activities, or misappropriate a large amount of public funds for more than three months, are guilty of corruption and are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years. Whoever misappropriates a huge amount of public funds and fails to return it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years or life imprisonment, and shall be given a heavier punishment. A criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above commits a crime that should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above within five years after the execution of the punishment or pardon, and is a recidivist.
