Alex Feng fined $3,500 for damaging XPZ supermarket
Tianzhao ‘Alex’ Feng the man who was imprisoned for burning down the XPZ supermarket has been fined $3,500 for pleading guilty to maliciously damaging that same company’s property
Feng damaged the XPZ property in August and claimed he was unaware of any directive to stay away.
He defended his actions, stating that Antigua is a free place and he can go wherever he wants.
Feng previously served a three-year prison sentence for burning down the original XPZ supermarket in 2021.
The case in his latest actions, was heard before Magistrate Dane Hamilton Jr., with the help of Norm Christopher, a Chinese interpreter.
Feng, who’s originally from China, appeared in court without legal representation. The magistrate fined him $500 for malicious damage and ordered an additional $3,000 in compensation.
Feng has until November 21 to pay the remaining amount, and failure to do so may result in imprisonment.
The owner of XPZ, Zhang Xiao Ping, expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling, stating that Feng should be jailed and sent back to China.
The magistrate warned Feng not to appear before him in any future cases related to XPZ, cautioning him to leave the property alone and report any harassment to the police.
