The Independent Commission Against Corruption has charged two former department store staff for alleged bribery and fraud in relation to the purchase of computer and related equipment.

Sincere Company Limited former manager Chan Ka-chuen, 42, and former analyst programmer Shaw Yuk-wing, 31, will appear in Eastern Magistracy at 9:30 am tomorrow on a total of six bribery and fraud charges.

The ICAC arrested the defendants during a corruption inquiry in October last year.

Two of the bribery charges allege that Chan had accepted commissions from Shaw as a reward for causing Sincere to purchase computer hardware, software and accessories from two suppliers, and not disclosing to Sincere that Shaw had an interest in them.

Two other bribery counts allege Shaw of offering a total of more than $150,000 to Chan for the same reason.

Chan and Shaw are also jointly charged with two counts of fraud, alleging that they, by deceit, had failed to disclose to Sincere that Shaw had an interest in the two suppliers, and with intent to defraud, induced Sincere to purchase computer hardware, software and accessories from them.
