Car dealership clerk jailed for carpet graft
(01-02 17:01)
A former employee of a motor service company, charged by the ICAC, was today sentenced to two months' imprisonment at Kwun Tong Magistracy for accepting bribes of HK$63,000 from a supplier for not reporting any defective carpets supplied by him.
Wong Shun-man, 43, a senior clerk formerly employed by Dah Chong Hong (Motor Service Centre) Limited, was also ordered by Magistrate Anthony Yuen Wai-ming to pay DCH Motor HK$30,000 as restitution out of the HK$63,000.
The court heard that Wong was responsible for procuring materials, including vehicle carpets, from suppliers.
Among the suppliers was Immense Trading and Development Limited (ITD). When the first batch of carpets was supplied to DCH Motor by ITD in June 2009, some of them were found to be defective, the court heard. A director of ITD then approached the defendant for offering advantages to him for assistance in not reporting any defects to DCH Motor.
As a result, the defendant accepted from the director of ITD payments ranging from HK$500 to HK$3,000 on various occasions between January 2010 and October 2011. The total bribe payments were up to over HK$63,000.
