Hong Kong (CNN)—
China has executed a
mining tycoon found
guilty of murder and
running a "mafia-style"
organization, state
media reported Monday.
Liu Han, 48, the former
chairman of Hanlong
Group, was executed
along with his brother,
Liu Wei, and three
associates, official news
agency Xinhua reported.
The men met with their families before they were executed, Xinhua said.
Liu has been linked by state media to former security czar Zhou Yongkang --
the most senior official snared in China's anti-corruption campaign.
Hanlong's interests included mining, real estate, electricity, energy and finance
and the company remains a shareholder in two Australian companies - Moly
Group and Sundance Resources.

Liu was detained in 2013 along with his younger brother. They were sentenced
to death in May 2014.
The Liu brothers started out running gambling dens in their base in Guanghan,
in China's southwestern Sichuan province, in the early 1990s, gathering around
them "a gang of local thugs and vagrants," state media reported around the
time of their trial.
The brothers' empire grew, dèc
authorities with an alleged public shooting at a Guanghan teahouse one
afternoon in January, 2009, supposedly ordered by Liu Wei and directed at an
underworld rival.
Liu Han also developed a reputation as a philanthropist, building a rural school
campus following a 2008 earthquake that devastated Sichuan. His brother also
had a reputation for charity, and had been a torch-bearer in the build-up to the
Beijing Olympics, also in 2008. http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/09/asia/china-tycoon-execution/index.html
