A former Radio Television Hong Kong officer and two company directors have been convicted of fraud over the awarding of over $740,000 worth of job orders.

Cheung Kin-man, 27, former RTHK project co-ordinator and Ho Yuen-yi, 34, and Yu Siu-kei, 35, both directors and shareholders of C'est La Pomme De Terre Company, were found guilty at the District Court of a joint charge of conspiracy to defraud.

Ho and Yu were also found guilty of 11 counts of forgery, while Ho was further found guilty of eight similar offences.

Deputy Judge Browne adjourned the case to March 29 to continue delivering his verdict, and remanded the defendants in the custody.

They were arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption last year. Cheung, Ho and Yu faced a joint charge of conspiracy to defraud RTHK by falsely representing that quotations submitted by C'est La Pomme De Terre, Feng Shui, 50M and Ling's Production for RTHK projects were genuinely competitive ones, and were prepared separately from and independently of each other. As a result of the false quotations, RTHK was deceived into granting the job orders.

Ho and Yu were further convicted of 11 joint charges of forgery by making false quotations of 50M for various RTHK jobs.

Ho was found guilty of eight similar offences of making false quotations of Ling's Production for other RTHK jobs.
