In response to media enquiries, an ICAC spokesman today (Thursday) confirms that two senior executives of a listed company in Hong Kong and a former principal official of the Hong Kong Government have been arrested for suspected corruption.

The arrested persons are alleged to have committed offences under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and misconduct in public office.

Meanwhile, another senior executive of the listed company and four others were earlier arrested for their alleged roles in the same case.

While enquiries are continuing, no further comments will be made at this stage.
