杭州酒局涉案两人被刑拘 要求女员工聚餐总经理被停职
Hangzhou authorities announced on August 18 that Zhao Haifeng, general manager of China Merchants Shekou's Zhejiang company, and Yu Dongdong, a public official from Binjiang District, have been criminally detained on suspicion of forcible indecency and assault. The incident occurred on the evening of July 26 after a dinner where a female employee of C&D Real Estate's Hangzhou subsidiary was pressured to drink. The victim sustained a lumbar injury classified as a minor injury (level two). Zhao has been dismissed by his company, Yu has been removed from his post, and the disciplinary inspection agency is pursuing parallel investigations.
The view from inside
The official Hangzhou investigation group's statement frames the swift detentions and dismissals as proof that 'status is not a get-out-of-jail-free card' (身份不是免罪金牌).
