CCTV building fire convicts face retrial
BEIJING No. 2 Intermediate People's Court has ordered a retrial of three convicts who are serving jail terms for using inferior and combustible materials to build a Beijing CCTV tower that was gutted by a blaze in 2009.
Tang Zhuchuang, vice president of a Guangdong-based materials company, the CCTV project manager Gu Xianshu, and quality controller Li Shuzhi were sentenced to 2 1/2 years and 4 1/2 years in prison in an earlier trial.
Their sentences are deemed too light because people accused of selling fake and shoddy products valued between 500,000 yuan (US$79,200) and 2 million yuan are normally sentenced to seven years and more, Beijing News reported today.
The three men, however, used flammable insulation sheets on the outer walls of the CCTV tower and are responsible for 160 million yuan of fire losses, the court said.
Tang's company in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province was fined 1.1 million yuan and the three men were ordered to pay fines from 5,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan.
The 30-story high-rise in Beijing's central business district caught fire on the night of February 9, 2009 when fireworks were lit up to celebrate the Lantern Festival. One fireman died and eight people were injured.
