Former top prosecutor in Hong Kong court over injuring man while drink-driving

A former top prosecutor in Hong Kong, Franco Kuan Bak-on, has been charged with dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm and driving with excessive alcohol levels. Kuan, 45, appeared in court after being arrested early in January for allegedly reckless driving that resulted in serious injuries to another individual. A breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol level was more than double the legal limit. Prosecutors have requested a seven-week adjournment to prepare the case for trial in the District Court, where a conviction could lead to up to seven years' imprisonment. Kuan was released on bail with conditions including residency restrictions and avoiding contact with prosecution witnesses.
