A former manager of a printing service company has been charged by the ICAC today (May 26) with defrauding the company of a smartphone worth over $7,800 by falsely representing that the smartphone was provided to a client in its service package.
Yung Siu-keung, 47, former account manager of Ricoh Hong Kong Limited (Ricoh Hong Kong), faces one count of fraud, contrary to Section 16A of the Theft Ordinance.
The defendant will appear at the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (May 28) for plea.
The case arose from a corruption complaint. Subsequent ICAC enquiries revealed the above alleged offence.
At the material time, the defendant was an account manager of the sales division of Ricoh Hong Kong, which engaged in the provision of printing services.
The defendant was responsible for handling the printing service agreement with a client. As an account manager, the defendant could recommend clients to use other products including projectors or mobile devices, and the cost would be included in the monthly service fees charged by Ricoh Hong Kong.
The charge alleges that between September 28 and October 31, 2016, the defendant falsely represented to Ricoh Hong Kong that a smartphone would be provided to the aforesaid client under a rental and warranty services agreement, and with intent to defraud, induced Ricoh Hong Kong to provide a smartphone to the client, which resulted in benefit to the defendant or prejudice to Ricoh Hong Kong.
A smartphone worth over $7,800 was allegedly involved in the case.
Ricoh Hong Kong and the client concerned have rendered full assistance to the ICAC during its investigation into the case.
The defendant has been released on ICAC bail, pending his court appearance on Thursday.
