Hong Kong’s ICAC arrested 21 people on January 2, 2026, in a corruption crackdown tied to renovation projects in Kwun Tong, targeting a triad-linked network involving contractors, consultants, and owners’ corporation members.
The operation follows a November fire at Wang Fuk Court that killed over 160 people, linked to substandard materials.
Suspects are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and corruptly obtaining homeowner authorizations to influence contract awards.
The ICAC emphasized its focus on public safety in building maintenance, while an independent committee continues probing the fire and construction industry practices.
