Wrongly jailed man wants 69.8m yuan compensation

A businessman wrongly imprisoned in North China on tax-evasion charges is suing the court that tried him, seeking 69.8 million yuan ($11.2 million) in damages.

Jiao Zhanjun was exonerated on appeal in 2011 after staying in jail for two years (from 2001 to 2003) and a legal battle that lasted eight years (from 2003 to 2011).

He said his demand for record compensation from Anguo court in Hebei province is to draw attention to incompetent grassroots-level judges.
