A former Assistant Programme Officer of the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) was today (Thursday) charged by the ICAC for allegedly deceiving script-writing and voice-over service fees totalling over $120,000 from RTHK.
Tsang Yuet-ngor, 42, will appear in Kowloon City Magistracy at 9:30 am on Monday (December 3) on 20 counts of fraud.
The case arose from a corruption complaint. Subsequent ICAC enquiries revealed the above alleged fraud offences.
Fourteen of the charges allege that Tsang had falsely represented that her mother or brother had provided script-writing services to RTHK, and with intent to defraud, induced RTHK to make payments totalling $44,000 and $72,200 to her mother and brother re spectively.
The remaining six charges allege Tsang of falsely representing that her mother had provided voice-over services to RTHK, and with intent to defraud, inducing RTHK to make payments totalling $4,000 to her.
ICAC investigation revealed that Tsang’s mother and brother had never provided such services to RTHK.
The alleged fraud offences took place between August 1999 and April 2002.
The defendant has been released on ICAC bail, pending her court appearance on Monday.
