A Senior Inspector of Police, Tang Chun-ho, was charged by the ICAC on December 16, 2024, with accepting an unauthorized loan of $10,000 from a subordinate Police Constable and deceiving another Senior Inspector into lending him $130,000 by falsely claiming that a bank had demanded repayment of his mortgage. Tang, who was an Assistant Divisional Commander in Sai Kung, faces charges under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and the Theft Ordinance. The ICAC investigation, which followed a corruption complaint referred by the Police, revealed that Tang never repaid the loans. He was released on bail and will appear in court on December 18 for a plea. The case highlights the importance of civil servants adhering to integrity and financial prudence.
