Professor faces allowance fraud charges

ICAC

Chinese University Professor Chan Wing-wah has been charged for allegedly attaining $1.9 million in private tenancy allowances by deceit.

 

No plea was taken when Chan appeared in Sha Tin Magistracy today. Magistrate Michael Jenkins adjourned the case to June 23 for transfer to the District Court for plea. Chan was granted $10,000 bail.

 

He allegedly used an application for private tenancy allowance on October 10, 1990, which contained false, erroneous or defective statements. It is alleged Chan falsely claimed that the leased accommodation being proposed was not owned by him, his spouse or a relation; and that neither he nor his spouse, and none of their relations had a financial interest in it.

 

Between August 30 and November 14, 1998, Chan also used another document to deceive, it is alleged, and to have falsely claimed that a director and shareholder of a company, from whom he had leased the property under his private tenancy allowance, was not a relation.
