Hong Kong arrested eight over a deadly 2025 fire in Tai Po that killed 128, linked to unsafe renovations and possible corruption.
Hong Kong’s anti-corruption agency has arrested eight people, including contractors and managers linked to a renovation project, over a deadly fire in the Tai Po district that killed 128 people and left about 200 unaccounted for.
The blaze, which spread rapidly due to flammable foam panels and bamboo scaffolding, destroyed two high-rise apartment towers in a complex built in the 1980s.
Authorities found that some fire alarms failed, and investigations are ongoing into possible negligence, corruption, and violations of fire safety standards.
The fire, the deadliest in Hong Kong in decades, prompted plans for immediate safety inspections of other renovation sites.
