He has also been deprived of his political rights for life and 300,000 yuan of his personal property was confiscated, the verdict said.
Li Zhiyong, an official of the China Pharmacopoeia Committee, and SFDA officials Lu Aiying and Ma Teng were given jail terms ranging from thirteen years to fifteen years on graft charges.
A report in China Business News in May said Zheng''s wife, Liu Naixue, and his son, Zheng Hairong, had been arrested for involvement in the case, citing a "well-informed source".
As SFDA director, Zheng had overseen the implementation of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which required companies to obtain a GMP certificate before being able to register new medicines.
The credibility of the system was seriously undermined in July last year when "Xinfu" antibiotic injections, manufactured by Anhui Huayuan Worldbest Biology Pharmacy Company, caused the deaths of six people and severe reactions in more than 80 others.
