Men jailed for part in CCTV fire

THREE people selling sub-standard building materials, which were also to blame for a skyscraper fire that killed one person and destroyed a side building of China Central Television's new headquarters in Beijing last year, have received jail terms of up to four and a half years.

The defendants worked for Zhongshan Shengxing Company, which was fined 1.1 million yuan (US$165,652) by Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court yesterday, for providing fake and low-quality sheets for the walls of the CCTV building.

It was burnt by fireworks from a celebration party held outside the building only for CCTV staffers last February.

The company's vice president Tang Zhuchuang, project manager Gu Xianshu and quality inspector Li Shuzhi were handed the sentences and ordered to pay fines of up to 50,000 yuan on charges of selling substandard and counterfeit products.
