Jman888 Moderator December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 rich tycoon can tahan 5 years in jail or not? or maybe it is a resort Hong Kong tycoon Thomas Kwok jailed five years and fined for graft PUBLISHED ON DEC 23, 2014 (From left) Former Hong Kong Stock Exchange official Francis Kwan, former Hong Kong chief secretary Rafael Hui, former Sun Hung Kai co-chairman Thomas Kwok, and former Sun Hung Kai executive director Thomas Chan arriving in a prison van at the High Court in Hong Kong on Dec 23, 2014. -- PHOTO: REUTERS HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong property tycoon Thomas Kwok was jailed for five years and fine HK$500,000 (S$85,095) on Tuesday over payments made to a senior government official in a blockbuster case that has shocked the city. Kwok, 63, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office over a series of payments totalling HK$8.5 million to former government number two Rafael Hui, 66. Judge Andrew Macrae said he had no doubt that Kwok was “at heart a good man”. He said he had considered a maximum sentence of six years, but handed down one year less to account for Kwok’s good character. Hui, 66, is also facing a prison term after being found guilty on five of the eight charges against him. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Hypersonic December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 Deducting holidays and good behavior and maybe some guan xi, I think 2 years can come out already. Or maybe even less if he can come out with some sort of "illness". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 Afaik, china and indonesia also have this resort prison lol Worse soeharto son Tommy ride heli in and out prison In many prisons, 金钱是万能的， money talks. It will get even better when prisons are privatised :-) For the sake of transparency and equal treatments amongst various inmates, rich or poor, cctv showing public equal treatments are actually provided may be the answer? Some sacrifices of privacy by these criminals are small issues in exchange for having the scrutiny / surveillance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
