Entrapment driver wants money back

An illegal taxi driver, recently fined 4,000 yuan by the Haidian district urban administration, or chengguan, is fighting his case claiming he was a victim of entrapment.

If entrapment is proven it will be the first such case in Beijing, following the recent success of a similar case in Shanghai.

Du Guowu, the driver, appealed the fine during an administrative reexamination hearing at a Haidian district government building on Tuesday.
