Ex-CSD officer charged with soliciting and accepting roast poultry from inmate’s mother
2019-9-27
A former Assistant Officer I of the Correctional Services Department (CSD) has been charged by the ICAC today (September 27) with soliciting and accepting roast poultry from the mother of an inmate during visitations around Lunar New Year.
Wan Chi-leung, 55, faces two charges – one of prescribed officer soliciting an advantage and one of prescribed officer accepting an advantage, contrary to Section 3 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
The defendant will appear at the Kwun Tong Magistracy next Wednesday (October 2) for plea.
At the material time, the defendant was the officer-in-charge of the Visit Room Unit of Pik Uk Correctional Institution (PUCI), overseeing the admission of visitors paying visits to inmates remanded there.
One of the charges alleges that on February 15, 2018, the defendant solicited a roast goose drumstick from the mother of an inmate of PUCI without the general or special permission of the Chief Executive.
The other charge alleges that the defendant accepted a roast duck from the abovementioned mother on February 17, 2018.
The case arose from a corruption complaint referred by the CSD, which has rendered full assistance to the ICAC during its investigation into the case.
The defendant has been released on ICAC bail, pending his court appearance next Wednesday.
