Ex-senior executive of railway services company faces ICAC charges after return to HK
2013-12-20
A former senior executive of a railway services company has been charged by the ICAC today (Friday) with conspiracy to defraud the company of haulage and devanning service payments totalling over $110,000 after his return to Hong Kong.
Wang Zheng, 42, former deputy general manager of China Railway Services (Hong Kong) Limited (CRS), faces two counts of conspiracy to defraud, contrary to Common Law.
The defendant will be brought to the Kwun Tong Magistracy for plea at 9:30 am tomorrow (Saturday).
The case arose from a corruption complaint. Subsequent ICAC enquiries revealed the above offences.
At the material time, CRS was a designated clearance agent of the then Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC). The customs documents in relation to goods imported into or exported from Shenzhen on KCRC cargo trains were prepared by CRS.
In the course of business dealings between the two companies, the defendant came to know a then freight operations manager of KCRC.
The charges allege that between July 1, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the defendant conspired with the then freight operations manager of KCRC to defraud CRS.
The defendant was alleged to have falsely represented to the then KCRC that CRS issued two haulage and devanning orders to KCRC, in which Koichi Trading Company was specified to carry out the haulage and devanning services.
As a result of the alleged false representation, the defendant had dishonestly caused a total of $110,850 to be paid to him by the then freight operations manager of KCRC.
The defendant left Hong Kong before the ICAC conducted an arrest operation in relation to the case. He was arrested at the airport yesterday after his return to Hong Kong.
