Ex-lawmaker tried for road collapse

A former lawmaker stood trial in Xicheng District People's Court on Wednesday for having allegedly built a basement that caved in and caused the road and surrounding buildings to collapse on Jan 24 last year. Li Baojun, a former lawmaker from Jiangsu province, hired a contractor to dig an 18-meter-deep basement in his courtyard in Xicheng district without permission. The cave-in resulted in a direct economic loss of more than 5.83 million yuan ($900,000), according to prosecutors. The verdict will be delivered at a later date, the court said.
