Man guilty of bribing hospital staff

*
ICAC

Kowloon City Magistracy today convicted a 65-year-old man of offering bribes to a Kowloon Hospital hospital administrator in return for his deceased girlfriend's medical report. He will be sentenced on March 25.

 

Defendant Tsui Chung-man was found guilty of two counts of offering an advantage to a public servant.

 

The court heard Tsui left a plastic bag with eight souvenir pins to induce the hospital administrator to assist in his application for the medical report on April 25 last year. He also left three ornaments bearing Hong Kong's regional emblem and an envelope containing 10 $1,000 banknotes on May 7.

 

The administrator had twice refused the materials. After the Hospital Authority rejected his application, Tsui called the administrator to ask for the return of his money. He said he would pay more if the administrator was willing to help him.
