The ICAC charged three former site team leaders of MLife Engineering Limited, a sub-contractor for the Third Runway Project at Hong Kong International Airport, with soliciting and accepting over $220,000 in bribes from seven carpenters through blackmail. The defendants, He Yuchuan, Chow Kwai-fai, and Ye Zhifu, face 15 charges, including bribery and blackmail. Allegedly, He and Chow demanded daily bribes from four carpenters between September 2020 and January 2022, while Ye accepted bribes and cigarettes from three carpenters between February and June 2022. All three were released on bail and will appear in court on December 17. The ICAC urged construction workers to reject and report any corruption.
