A former sheriff in Hong Kong received a bribery of 500,000 yuan (Hong Kong dollars, the same below, about 84,800 yuan), and was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

According to the Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily, the 53 -year -old male defendant, Li Hong, founded that he was the criminal investigation team of the East District Police District. Four years ago, he met a businessman Huang Junyou through relatives and friends.Huang Junyou involved financial disputes with members of the Sanhe Club Group. Huang's family members were harassed and received debt collection letters.

Li Hongfa requested to report the incident to organizational crimes and triple investigation sections.The assistant assistance found the address of the members of the three -in -one, and then Li Hongfa obtained a check of 500,000 yuan issued by relatives and friends.

Chen Yonghao, a judge of the District Court, said in his sentence that Li Hongfa received 500,000 yuan of bribes provided by his relatives and friends to assist Huang Junyou and the police inquiring about the inquiry and investigation of transactions.Yuan is not a loan made by relatives and friends to Li Hongfa, but a bribe with Huang Junyou.Chen Yonghao pointed out that the content of the background report is positive, showing that the defendant has served the public and the police for many years. He is a respected police force for the police.

Chen Yonghao believes that the defendant as a police officer knows the law and breaks the law and cracks down on the public's confidence in the police.He took two years of imprisonment as the starting point of a penalty, considering the defendant's past good character and contribution, experience in recent years, and physical problems. The sentence was reduced for half a year as appropriate.The defendant must be returned to 140,000 yuan within 14 months after his prison, and the remaining 360,000 yuan can be repaid for 10,000 yuan per month.
