Eight Arrested in Hong Kong Fire Case

Eight more people have been arrested in Hong Kong for the major fire at the
Wang Fuk Court apartment building in Tai Po. The Hong Kong anti-corruption
agency is checking if there was corruption in the building’s repair and
maintenance work. The arrested people include engineering consultants,
scaffolding workers, and a middleman.

A local official said that firefighters have nearly completed the rescue
work after several days. The fire has killed 128 people, and around 200 people
are still missing.
