Man charged with bribing driving examiner
2017-5-26
A man has been charged by the ICAC today (May 26) with bribing a driving examiner of the Transport Department (TD) with a red packet containing $5,000 so as to get a pass in a driving test.
Cheung Yan, 41, unemployed, faces one count of offering an advantage to a public servant, contrary to Section 4(1)(a) of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
The defendant will appear at the Kwun Tong Magistracy for plea next Wednesday (May 31).
At the material time, the defendant attended a driving test centre of the TD for a private car driving test.
The charge alleges that on April 5, 2017, the defendant offered an advantage, namely a red packet containing $5,000, to a Driving Examiner II of the TD as a reward for assessing his driving skill and performance in the private car driving test with a pass.
The case arose from a corruption complaint referred by the TD, which has rendered full assistance to the ICAC during its investigation.
The defendant has been released on ICAC bail, pending his court appearance next Wednesday.
