Superintendent of Police among three charged by the ICAC for roles in alleged $1m bribe, MIPO and perversion
2026-4-28
A Superintendent of Police (SP), along with his girlfriend and younger brother, was charged by the ICAC today (April 28) for allegedly accepting a $1 million bribe from a businessman, committing misconduct in public office by divulging Police internal information regarding a traffic accident involving the businessman’s ex-wife, and intending to pervert the course of public justice by arranging for his younger brother to stand as a scapegoat driver for two speeding cases involving the businessman’s son and the SP himself.
Leung Ka-man, 52, interdicted SP, faces four charges – one count of conspiracy for a public servant to accept an advantage, contrary to section 4(2)(a) of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance and section 159A of the Crimes Ordinance; one count of misconduct in public office (MIPO), contrary to the Common Law; one count of doing an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice, contrary to the Common Law; and one count of conspiracy to do an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice, contrary to the Common Law and section 159A of the Crimes Ordinance.
Lau Wai-yin, 42, Leung Ka-man’s girlfriend, faces the charge of conspiracy for a public servant to accept an advantage. Lau and Leung Ka-hing, 50, Leung Ka-man’s younger brother, jointly face the charge of conspiracy to do an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice.
The trio were released on ICAC bail, pending their appearance at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts on Thursday (April 30) for mention. The prosecution will later apply to transfer the case to the District Court for plea.
The ICAC investigation arose from a corruption complaint referred by the Police. At the material time, Leung Ka-man was the Divisional Commander of Ta Kwu Ling, Castle Peak and Tuen Mun Divisions, overseeing policing and crime control functions in those areas.
The bribery charge alleges that between September 2020 and March 2022, Leung Ka-man and Lau conspired together to accept a $1 million bribe from a businessman in the catering sector for Leung Ka-man remaining favourably disposed to the businessman.
ICAC enquiries revealed that Leung Ka-man came to know the businessman through a friend. It is alleged that in September 2020, Leung Ka-man and Lau solicited and accepted a loan of $1 million from the businessman. As of now, Leung Ka-man and Lau have never repaid the businessman.
The MIPO charge alleges that between December 2021 and March 2022, Leung Ka-man wilfully misconducted himself in relation to his public office without reasonable excuse by divulging Police internal information he obtained in his official capacity concerning a traffic accident involving the businessman’s ex-wife to the businessman.
Another charge alleges that in March 2021, Leung Ka-man, with intent to pervert the course of public justice, proposed that his younger brother, Leung Ka-hing, serve as a scapegoat for the businessman’s son in a speeding case. The suggestion was eventually rejected by the businessman.
The remaining offence relates to a speeding case involving Leung Ka-man. It is alleged that the three defendants conspired together in December 2021 to pervert the course of public justice by falsely representing to the Police that Leung Ka-hing was the driver in the case.
The Police rendered full assistance to the ICAC during its investigation into the case.
