29 October 2020Beware of Con Men Posing as ICAC Officers In recent years, ICAC received complaints about con men posing as ICAC officers in deception cases. Overseas Chinese and local Hong Kong citizens alike fell prey to these scams. In these cases, victims were often told that they were suspects of some unlawful activities (e.g. corruption, fraud and/or money laundering), had earned a great deal from investments or had won a lottery. Whatever the pretexts, the victims would be asked to remit money for certain purposes. The money would then be withdrawn soon after remittance and the imposters disappeared into thin air. Bear in mind that ICAC would never demand deposit or money, or ask anybody to remit or transfer money to any bank account for investigative purposes. If you encounter similar situation or have any queries, immediately call the ICAC 24-hour Report Corruption Hotline (852) 25 266 366. Stay alert and click here to learn more about the tricks used by fraudsters!

28 September 2020Business operators must not offer bribe to bank staff for opening account Due to the stepping up of international efforts in combating illegal activities including money laundering, terrorist financing and tax evasion in recent years, banks have to take enhanced control measures including a more stringent customer due diligence process to mitigate the potential risks for new customers. As a result, the account opening process is more complex and requires longer time. Although opening a bank account is essential to business operations, business operators must not offer advantages (including money or gifts) to bank staff for the latter's approving or expediting the account opening application, otherwise both the business operator and the bank staff may violate the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (POBO) enforced by the ICAC for offering or accepting a bribe respectively. The maximum penalty is a fine of $500,000 and seven years' imprisonment. Hong Kong Business Ethics Development Centre (HKBEDC), under Community Relations Department of the ICAC, strives to help banks and financial institutions guard against corruption and foster an ethical culture. Click here to visit HKBEDC website for more information about anti-bribery laws and HKBEDC's services. If you suspect corruption, please call the ICAC 24-hour Report Hotline at (852) 25 266 366.
