Six suspected triad members arrested for tailing Eddie Chu not linked to Wang Chau housing fracas, police say
The men were ‘purely following’ Chu and no proof has been found of a connection to rural leaders
More details were revealed yesterday – a day after the men with alleged triad links were picked up in a series of raids.
Li also stressed that house searches by police found nothing that could prove the actions of the suspects had anything to do with the death threats Chu had received. The threats have been linked to his land reform campaigns.
“They were purely following Chu,” Li said.
“As of now, there has been no evidence found linking them to the Wang Chau development. As to whether the men are linked to any rural leaders or people with vested interests in the project, we have no such information that proves so in this [early] stage of investigation,” Li added.
