2008-10-30
The ICAC Commissioner Mr Timothy Tong today (Thursday) issued the following statement:
"We learnt with great sadness that former ICAC Commissioner, Mr David Jeaffreson, has passed away. On behalf of colleagues from the Departments of Operations, Corruption Prevention and Community Relations, I would like to express our deepest condolences to Mrs Jeaffreson and her family.
"Mr Jeaffreson led the ICAC during a challenging time when corruption reports in the private sector began to rise. Between 1988 and 1991, under Mr Jeaffreson’s leadership, the Commission successfully detected a number of complex and sophisticated commercial cases involving corruption.
"With Mr Jeaffreson’s support, the ICAC also forged closer links with the Mainland’s anti-corruption authorities.
"Colleagues who had worked with Mr Jeaffreson would remember him as a gentleman and a wise and caring leader."
