Yesterday he was sentenced to 26 months' jail yesterday for falsifying receipts to gain PR status.
Yang will will be spending a total of 8 years and 2 months behind bars for all of his criminal offences.
During the trial, the prosecution had asked for 10-12 year term for Yang's "deep betrayal". The defence argued for 3 years, saying that he was not "emotionally manipulative", but had only done what he did so as to reduce the financial burden on his family.
