Three charged over MIRROR concert incident last July
Police said on Friday that three people have been charged with conspiracy to defraud over the MIRROR concert incident last July, during which a giant LED screen fell from height.  Sources told RTHK they work for the concert's main contractor, Engineering Impact. The force had previously alleged that the company made false declarations about the weight of the stage equipment – including the screen – used in the show. Officers said the trio – a woman and two men aged between 41 and 60 – will appear in Kowloon City Court on February 2. The force added that two others who had been arrested over the case in November last year have been released unconditionally. Labour minister Chris Sun, meanwhile, said the Labour Department has finished collecting evidence over the incident and will soon take law enforcement action.  He had said last month that employers of the dancers were suspected to have failed to buy insurance coverage for the dancers and have been late with reporting their injuries. The falling LED screen at the Hong Kong Coliseum on July 28 last year injured two dancers on stage, including Mo Li, who is still being treated in hospital for his spinal injuries.___________________________
