於追討犯罪資產技巧的個案研究工作坊。 

2007 年 , 上訴法庭指 “ 清洗黑錢屬嚴重罪行 , 因其企圖 

使犯罪得益變為合法 ”( 刑事上訴案件 2006 年第 100 號 )。 

1 月 , 一名商人及其妻子因在香港經營多間涉及欺詐活 

動的中介公司 , 藉此清洗自中國銀行盜取的港幣 64 億元 

黑錢 , 被裁定罪名成立 , 判處監禁 6 年半 ( 區院刑事案件

Throughout 2007, prosecutors shared their expertise with 

others, and promoted best practice in asset recovery. 

In June, Section 11 members lectured at the Financial 

Investigation Unit of the Narcotics Bureau. In September, 

the Policy Co-ordinator addressed financial investigators 

from throughout the Asia/Pacific region at the Police 

College. In October, the Deputy Policy Co-ordinator 

discussed money laundering and asset recovery at a 

seminar in Hangzhou, organised jointly by the Legal 

Education Trust Fund and the Supervision Department of 

the PRC. In November, Mr Shiu arranged a case study 

workshop on recovery techniques for the Organized Crime 

and Triad Bureau. 

In 2007, the Court of Appeal acknowledged that ‘money 

laundering is a very serious offence as it is an attempt 

to legitimize proceeds from criminal activities’ (CACC 100 

of 2006). In January, a businessman and his wife who 

laundered HK$6.4 billion stolen from the Bank of China 

were convicted of operating fraudulent conduit firms in 

Hong Kong to dispose of the money and imprisoned for 

6½ years (DCCC 660 of 2005). In June, the High Court 

restrained HK$458 million in suspected crime proceeds 

from the Mainland (HCMP 1240 of 2007). In August, 

a former director of failed brokerage Tiffit Securities 

was sentenced to 3 years 4 months’ imprisonment for 

laundering over HK$19 million of his clients’ money (DCCC 

983 of 2006). In October, a Canadian who created fake 

companies to launder $36 million generated from a stocktrading 

scam was imprisoned for 5 years and ordered to 

compensate his victims (HCCC 157 of 2006). 

In 2007, 310 persons were prosecuted for offences of 

money laundering. Under the Organized and Serious 

Crimes Ordinance, $19.45 million of crime proceeds was 

ordered to be confiscated. Confiscation was sought of 

assets worth $2.11 million. A further $723.23 million was 

restrained pending court proceedings. Under the Drug 

Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance, $377,000 

in drug proceeds was ordered to be confiscated, while 

$390,000 was ordered to be restrained. Confiscation was 

sought of assets worth $795,000.

《基本法》及《人權法案》 

BASIC LAW AND BILL OF RIGHTS 

《基本法》為香港刑事司法制度的運作訂立憲制框架。 

它訂明市民的權利和義務 , 賦與刑事案件被告人享有盡 

早接受公平審判的權利 , 保證普通法制度得以保留 , 並 

確認陪審員制度和獨立的司法審判權。《基本法》也規 

定《公民權利和政治權利國際公約》及《經濟、社會與 

文化權利國際公約》繼續適用於香港 , 並且通過香港的 

法律予以實施。 

The Basic Law prescribes the constitutional framework for 

the operation of criminal justice in Hong Kong. The rights 

of residents are defined, as well as their duties. Persons 

accused of crime are entitled to a fair trial without delay. 

The maintenance of the common law is guaranteed. 

The system of trial by jury is recognised. The exercise 

of independent judicial power is acknowledged. The 

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the 

International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural 

Rights remain in force and are implemented through local 

laws. 

英格蘭及威爾斯大律師公會人權委員會創會主席夏博義資深大律師和香 

港人權監察總幹事羅沃啟於 2007 年 11 月 12 日與檢控人員討論人權問題。 

Mr Paul Harris, SC, founding chairman, Human Rights Committee, 

Bar of England and Wales, (left) and Mr Law Yuk-kai, Director, 

Human Rights Monitor, discuss human rights issues with prosecutors 

on 12 November 2007. 

The Basic Law is of crucial significance to prosecutors 

as it safeguards their position. Article 63 stipulates that 

the Department of Justice shall control prosecutions, free 

from any interference. With their position constitutionally 

underpinned, prosecutors are able to discharge their duties 

as they would wish, from a secure base. When in May he 

addressed the Joint Seminar of the International Criminal 

Bar Council with the Asia/Pacific Bars, in Tokyo, Mr John 

Reading, SC, DDPP, said the Basic Law ‘guarantees the 

independence of the prosecutor, who acts impartially and 

objectively in the discharge of the prosecutorial function, 

both when advising and at court’. 

《基本法》保障了檢控人員的地位 , 這對檢控人員極為 

重要。《基本法》第六十三條訂明律政司主管刑事檢察 

工作 , 不受任何干涉。檢控人員的地位受到憲法條文所 

保障 , 因而能在穩固的基礎上獨立自主地履行檢控職 

責。5 月 , 副刑事檢控專員李定國資深大律師在東京出席 

國際刑事大律師公會與亞洲 / 太平洋多個大律師公會的 

聯席研討會時表示 ,《基本法》“ 保證檢控人員的獨立 

性 , 讓他們在提供指引和出庭檢控時 , 都能公正客觀地 

履行檢控職責 ”。 

署理副刑事檢控專員薛偉成資深大律師是《基本法》及 

《人權法案》檢控政策協調員。2007 年 , 他與檢控政策 

副協調員高級政府律師覃民輝連同第 10 組的檢控人員肩 

負的首要責任 , 是確保刑事檢控科在執行刑事司法工作 

時 , 遵守有關人權保障的規定。第 10 組的律師為檢控人 

Mr Kevin Zervos, SC, DDPP(Ag), Policy Co-ordinator on 

Basic Law and Bill of Rights, and Mr Simon Tam, SGC, 

Deputy Policy Co-ordinator, together with the prosecutors 

of Section 10, assumed primary responsibility in 2007 for 

ensuring that human rights guarantees were observed by 

the Prosecutions Division in the administration of criminal 

justice. Section 10 counsel analysed human rights and 

constitutional issues for prosecutors, and attended 

the courts to make submissions when related issues 

arose in criminal cases. The law enforcement agencies 

were advised upon the impact on their operations of 

judgments involving human rights, and the way forward 

was reviewed periodically with others in government in 

light of developing jurisprudence. A central function of 

Section 10 was to promote awareness of the ambit of 

constitutional rights in the area of public prosecutions. 

In June, the Policy Co-ordinator told the Court of Final 

Appeal that fraudsters were infinitely creative and the 

laws required to stop them needed to take account of

BASIC LAW AND BILL OF RIGHTS 

員分析人權和憲法問題 , 並在涉及相關問題的刑事案件 

中出庭陳詞。他們亦就法院關於人權的判決對執法行動 

的影響 , 向執法機關提供意見 , 並根據不斷發展的法理 

學 , 定期與其他政府部門檢視未來路向。第 10 組的核心 

職能之一 , 是提高刑事檢控人員對憲法權利的範疇的認 

知。 

6 月 , 在一位名媛的定罪上訴中 , 檢控政策協調員向終審 

法院陳詞說 , 因為騙徒的犯罪手法層出不窮 , 所以對付 

犯罪的法律也須顧及各種各樣的犯罪行為。該名媛被裁 

定串謀詐騙罪名成立 , 上訴時她辯稱串謀詐編罪的內容 

流於空泛及無理 , 甚至包括許多本屬合法的手段 , 因此 

違反憲法的規定。終審法院駁回此上訴時裁定 , 串謀詐 

騙罪的內容足夠精確 , 符合《基本法》和《人權法案》 

的要求 , 而且 “ 騙徒詭計多端 , 詐騙手法層出不窮 ”, 

因此有需要保留這個涵蓋範圍廣泛的控罪 ([2007] 4 HKC 

107)。 

在 7 月 , 終審法院裁定把非私下作出的同性肛交訂為刑事 

罪行的法例違反憲法。有關法例根據當事人的性傾向而 

給予不同對待 , 有違《基本法》及《人權法案》所保障 

的男女平等權利。這是因為上述罪行針對男同性戀者 , 

在並無必要給予不同對待的情況下 , 沒有把異性間進行 

相同或相若的行為一同列為刑事罪行。此外 , 有關行為 

可以根據普通法的有違公德罪予以檢控 , 而有違公德罪 

並不針對任何特定羣體。終審法院強調本身 “ 有責任維 

護法律面前人人平等這項憲法保證 , 並保護市民免受帶 

有歧視成分的法例影響 ” ([2007] 3 HKC 545)。 

their varied crimes. That was after a socialite convicted 

of conspiracy to defraud claimed that the offence was so 

broad as to be arbitrary and unconstitutional, as it caught 

many otherwise legitimate practices. In dismissing the 

appeal, the Court decided that the offence was formulated 

with sufficient precision to satisfy both the Basic Law and 

the Bill of Rights, and that a general charge was necessary 

because there was ‘no limit to the ingenuity of fraudsters 

in engineering novel means of defrauding others’ ([2007] 

4 HKC 107). 

In July, the Court of Final Appeal held that the law which 

criminalised homosexual buggery committed otherwise 

than in private was unconstitutional. The law gave rise to 

differential treatment on the ground of sexual orientation, 

and this contravened the right to sexual equality contained 

in the Basic Law and the Bill of Rights. The offence targeted 

homosexual men, but did not criminalise heterosexuals for 

the same or comparable conduct in circumstances when 

there was no need for such differential treatment. The 

conduct in question was prosecutable under the common 

law offence of outraging public decency, which did not 

target any particular group. The Court emphasised its ‘duty 

of enforcing the constitutional guarantee of equality before 

the law and ensuring protection against discriminatory law’ 

([2007] 3 HKC 545). 

In November, Mr Law Yuk-kai, Director, Hong Kong 

Human Rights Monitor, visited the Division and addressed 

prosecutors on ‘Human rights in Hong Kong : Past, present 

and future’. On the same occasion, Mr Paul Harris, SC, 

founding chairman, Human Rights Committee, Bar of 

England and Wales, lectured prosecutors on ‘The history 

of protest’. 

在 1 1 月 , 香港人權監察總幹事羅沃啟探訪本科 , 並 

以 “ 香港人權 : 過去、現在與未來 ” 為題 , 向檢控人員 

講話。同一場合 , 英格蘭及威爾斯大律師公會人權委員 

會創會主席夏博義資深大律師向檢控人員講授 “ 抗議的 

歷史 ”。

商業罪案 

COMMERCIAL CRIME 

刑事檢控科的商業罪案組分為 5 個專責小組共 26 名律師。 

該組的職責是運用刑事法例 , 杜絕貪污及使香港有安全 

的營商環境 , 以鞏固香港作為主要金融中心的地位。該 

組積極與本地的執法者及其他司法管轄區的檢控機關建 

立緊密聯繫 , 以期制定有效的反欺詐策略。商業罪案組 

負責處理的案件 , 大都是複雜罪行或受害者損失至少 

500 萬元的欺詐案。9 月 , 副刑事檢控專員李定國資深 

大律師在劍橋舉行的經濟罪行研討會中表示 , 由於香港 

是理想的營商地點 , 因此 “ 施行切合實際的法例和時刻保 

持警覺 , 對維護資本市場的持正操作十分重要 ”。 

The Commercial Crime Unit (CCU) of the Prosecutions 

Division comprises five dedicated teams and 26 counsel. 

Its mandate is to use the criminal law to maintain Hong 

Kong’s position as a major financial centre with a safe 

business environment which is free of corruption. 

Constructive liaison is pursued with local law enforcers 

and counterparts in other jurisdictions in the development 

of efficient anti-fraud strategies. Cases within the portfolio 

of the CCU typically involve complex crime, or fraud which 

involves losses of at least $5 million. In September, 

Mr John Reading, SC, DDPP, told the Cambridge 

Symposium on Economic Crime that because Hong Kong 

is a good place to do business, it was ‘imperative that 

the integrity of the capital markets be maintained through 

practical legislation and constant vigilance’. 

商業罪案組於 1984 年設立 , 由副刑事檢控專員麥偉德 

資深大律師掌管。雖然向該組尋求法律指引的部門最初 

只限於香港警務處的商業罪案調查科和廉政公署 , 但該 

組目前也處理由海關、香港金融管理局、稅務局和證券 

及期貨事務監察委員會 (“ 證監會 ”) 轉交的案件。該組 

亦就法律架構和修改事宜 , 向政府其他人員提供法律意 

見。在 2007 年 , 高級政府律師黎嘉誼擔任一個諮詢小組 

的委員 , 參與重寫《公司條例》的工作 ; 該諮詢小組負 

責檢討《公司條例》的罪行和罰則條文 , 以及嚴格法律 

責任罪行的事宜。 

副刑事檢控專員麥偉德資深大律師 ( 左 ) 於 2007 年 3 月 20 日向澳洲證券及投資 

事務監察委員會主席 Mr Jeffrey Lucy 作出簡介。 

Mr Ian McWalters, SC, DDPP, (left) briefs Mr Jeffrey Lucy, Chairman, 

Securities and Investments Commission, Australia, on 20 March 2007. 

Headed by Mr Ian McWalters, SC, 

DDPP, the CCU was founded in 1984. 

Although its client base was initially 

confined to the Commercial Crime 

Bureau (CCB) of the Hong Kong 

Police Force and the Independent 

Commission Against Corruption 

(ICAC), the CCU now processes cases 

submitted by the Customs and Excise 

Department, the Hong Kong Monetary 

Authority, the Inland Revenue 

Department and the Securities and 

Futures Commission (SFC). The CCU 

also advises others in government 

on legislative frameworks and changes, and throughout 

2007 Mr Ned Lai, SGC, was involved in the Companies 

Ordinance (CO) Rewrite Exercise as a member of the 

Advisory Group which reviewed the offence and penalty 

provisions of the CO, as well as the status of strict liability 

offences. 

Following the enactment in 2003 of the Securities and 

Futures Ordinance, market misconduct was criminalised, 

and Miss Louisa Lai, SADPP, Head of Section 13, 

advised on related cases throughout the year. Depending 

on the evidence, cases of market misconduct may be 

prosecuted at court or processed on a civil basis by a 

market misconduct tribunal. Market misconduct includes

《證券及期貨條例》於 2003 年制定後 , 市場失當行為 

已列為刑事罪行。年內 , 第 13 組主管高級助理刑事檢控 

專員黎雅雯就相關的案件給予法律指引。視乎有關證據 

而定 , 這些案件可在法庭以刑事檢控程序處理 , 但也可 

循民事途徑交由市場失當行為審裁處審理。市場失當行 

為包括內幕交易、虛假交易、操控價格、披露關於受禁 

交易的資料、披露虛假或具誤導性的資料以誘使進行交 

易 , 以及操縱證券市場等行為。在 2007 年 , 黎女士推行 

了一項試驗計劃 , 在評估案件和監察調查工作方面提升 

該組為證監會提供服務的質素。 

年內 , 商業罪案組處理的典型案件包括 : 

涉及銀行、信用證、層壓式投資、空殼公 

司、空頭支票、按揭及信用卡的各類型詐 

騙案。檢控人員經常提出的控罪包括偷 

竊、串謀詐騙、以欺騙手段取得財產 , 以 

及以欺騙手段促致有價產權書的簽立等。 

如有關罪行屬存心欺騙 , 導致財政或所有 

權的增益或損失 , 或使受害者蒙受損失的 

風險 , 則會以欺詐罪提出檢控。至於干犯 

信用卡騙案的人 , 則會以製造、使用或管 

有虛假文書的罪名予以打擊。3 月 , 上訴 

法庭指出 ,“ 信用卡騙案廣泛蔓延 , 而且 

非常普遍 , 必須嚴厲打擊 ”( 刑事上訴案件 

2006 年第 209 號 )。年內 , 該組提升能力 , 檢控使用傳統 

或嶄新犯罪手法的詐騙案 , 並成功檢控多宗重大案件。 

在 1 月 , 從事黃金熔煉及買賣的慶豐金集團的前主席和 

3 名行政人員被控於 2000 至 2001 年間 , 通過一連串涉及 

空殼公司的銀行交易 , 詐騙該上市公司 , 被裁定罪名成

insider dealing, false trading, price rigging, disclosure of 

information about prohibited transactions, disclosure of 

false or misleading information inducing transactions and 

stock market manipulation. In 2007, Miss Lai implemented 

a pilot scheme to enhance the quality of the service 

provided by the CCU to the SFC in the assessment of 

cases and the monitoring of investigations. 

In 2007, typical CCU cases involved bank fraud, letter of 

credit fraud, ponzi scams, long firm fraud, cheque-kiting, 

mortgage fraud and credit card fraud. Typical charges 

deployed by prosecutors included theft, conspiracy to 

defraud, obtaining property by deception and procuring 

the execution of a valuable security by deception. 

高級政府律師黎嘉誼 .. 負責檢討《公司條例》的罪 

行和罰則條文。 

Mr Ned Lai, SGC : reviewing the offence and 

penalty provisions of the Companies Ordinance. 

Statutory fraud offences were 

laid where fraud committed by 

deceit produced financial or 

proprietary gain or loss or a risk 

of such loss. Credit card fraud 

was combated with charges of 

making, using or possessing 

false instruments, and in 

March the Court of Appeal 

said that ‘credit card offences 

are widespread and prevalent, 

and must be dealt with 

severely’ (CACC 209 of 2006). 

Throughout 2007, the CCU 

honed its capacity to prosecute 

traditional and advanced frauds, 

and significant prosecutions 

resulted. 

In January, the former chairman of RNA Holdings, a goldrefining 

and trading company, and three of its executives, 

were convicted of defrauding their listed company through 

a series of bank transactions involving shell companies 

in 2000/2001. They made a bogus loan of $100 million 

to the company, and then misappropriated $55 million in 

cash and $45 million in RNA stock as repayment. Having 

condemned a fraudulent scheme involving a breach 

of trust, the judge sentenced the accused to terms of 

imprisonment which ranged from 4 years 10 months to 4 

years (DCCC 69 of 2006).

重 , 分別判處兩名被告人監禁 4 年及 2 年半 ( 區院刑事案件 

2005 年 1052 號 )。 

2007 年內 , 商業罪案組共對 25 人以嚴重欺詐罪名提出檢 

In March, the former chairman and five executives of Gold 

Wo International Holdings were convicted of conspiring 

to use inflated sales invoices and accounting records 

overstating the firm’s turnover and profits to defraud the 

stock exchange into giving listing approval for a $26 million 

fund-raising in 2001. They also received $86 million in 

loans from banks by using false documents showing 

genuine commercial transactions. The judge said that 

deterrent sentences were necessary for offences which 

had damaged Hong Kong’s economic well-being, and the 

accused were sentenced to terms of imprisonment which 

ranged from 10 years to 8 years (HCCC 134 of 2004). 

In April, two accused were convicted of conspiracy to 

defraud in 2004/2005. They defrauded 450 people out 

of $4 million by using a pyramid scheme that promised 

returns of up to 5,500 per cent. After they claimed to work 

for an international company which ran an organic pig 

farm in Shenzhen, the victims were persuaded to invest 

in health products that promised high returns. The judge 

said the offence was serious, and imprisoned the accused 

for terms of 4 years and 2½ years respectively (DCCC 

1052 of 2005). 

In 2007, the CCU instituted prosecutions of 25 persons 

for serious fraud offences. There were 83 serious fraud 

complaints, resulting from losses of $3.43 billion. The 

CCU provided 184 advices to the CCB in relation to

of the Copyright (Amendment) 

Ordinance 2007. This criminalised the 

sale and import of parallel imported 

copies of movies, television dramas, 

musical sound recordings or musical 

video recordings. The wider use of 

affidavit evidence also facilitated the 

prosecution of cases in the absence 

of copyright owners. When the Policy

盜版活動。 

《版權條例》不但把版權確認為產權 , 也是打擊各種形 

式盜版活動的主要法例。該條例為有關罪行訂立嚴厲的 

罰則 , 任何人非法製作或經營版權作品的侵犯版權複製 

品 , 可被判處罰款 500,000 元及監禁 8 年。《商品說明條 

例》將營商過程中為所提供的貨品作虛假商品說明、虛 

假標記和錯誤陳述等行為定為刑事罪行 , 違者可被判處 

罰款 500,000 元及監禁 5 年。版權罪行小組提出檢控的案

The Copyright Ordinance recognises copyright as 

a property right, and is the principal instrument for 

countering copyright piracy in all its forms. A strict 

sentencing regime is in place, and those who unlawfully 

make or deal with infringing copies of copyright works 

face fines of $500,000 and imprisonment for 8 years. The 

Trade Descriptions Ordinance criminalises false trade 

descriptions, false marks and misstatements in respect 

of goods provided in the course of trade. Offenders are 

liable to fines of $500,000 and imprisonment for 5 years. 

Cases instituted by the CCT invariably attracted condign 

punishment.

In April, the mastermind of a copyright piracy syndicate 

who sold pirated discs to overseas buyers via the eBay 

Internet auction site was sentenced to 42 months’ 

imprisonment (DCCC 1213 of 2005). In May, the Court 

of First Instance dismissed an appeal against a sentence 

of 6 months’ imprisonment imposed on an offender who 

attempted to export infringing copies of copyright works 

otherwise than for private use without the licence of the 

copyright owner, and the judge said ‘immediate custodial 

sentences should generally be imposed for offences of 

this kind as a deterrent to others’ (HCMA 333 of 2007). 

In June, three men who operated a pirated disc business 

which generated $5 million in profits were imprisoned for 

terms which ranged from 73.5 months to 31.5 months 

(DCCC 1308 of 2005). 

In May, the Policy Co-ordinator appeared before the Court 

of Final Appeal when the first ever person to be imprisoned 

for uploading movies onto the Internet by using BitTorrent 

software challenged his conviction for attempting to 

distribute infringing copies of films via the Internet. In 

dismissing the appeal, the Court said the accused had kept 

his computer connected with the network and continued to 

run the software to ensure that entire copies of the films 

would be transferred to the downloaders ([2007] 3 HKC 

255). In an editorial on 19 May 2007, the South China 

Morning Post commented that ‘it is now quite obvious 

that authorities will not tolerate copyright infringement, no 

matter how it is carried out’. 

In 2005, 694 cases were prosecuted for offences contrary 

to the Copyright Ordinance, and 522 persons were 

convicted. In 2006, 776 cases were prosecuted and 

597 persons were imprisoned. In 2007, 947 cases were 

prosecuted and 773 persons were imprisoned. The total 

quantity of items seized in 2007 amounted to 4.8 million, 

with a value of $116.87 million. 

In 2005, 560 cases were prosecuted for offences contrary

死因研訊 

CORONIAL INQUIRIES 

死因裁判官有權調查須予報告的死亡個案。研訊的目 

的 , 是要確定與某一死亡有關的情況。死因裁判官可獨 

自裁定案件 , 或委任陪審團一起聆訊。如有人在接受執 

法單位看管下死亡 , 其死因研訊必須有陪審團參與。因 

應死因裁判官的要求 , 刑事檢控科會委派檢控人員擔任 

死因裁判人員。若個案受公眾關注 , 或者案情複雜或涉 

及技術問題 , 又或者裁定若為非法殺人 , 即有人可能被 

控以刑事罪名 , 那麼死因裁判官便通常都會要求委任死 

因裁判人員。年內 , 本科在合共 32 宗死因研訊中 , 委派 

檢控人員擔任死因裁判人員。 

Coroners are empowered to investigate reportable 

deaths. The purpose of an inquest is to ascertain the 

circumstances surrounding a particular death. The 

coroner may himself determine a case, or sit with a jury. A 

jury is mandatory if a death occurs in official custody. On 

request, the Prosecutions Division provides a prosecutor 

to act as the Coroner’s Officer. This usually occurs when 

the case is of public concern, if complicated or technical 

issues are involved, or if a verdict of unlawful killing might 

result in criminal charges. In 2007, the Division assigned 

prosecutors to act as the Coroner’s Officer in a total of 32 

death inquests.

科提供意見 , 與死因裁判法庭及其 

登記處保持聯繫 , 並告知警方在何 

種情況下 , 應先尋求法律指引 , 然 

後才向死因裁判官提交死亡報告。

判人員。案中 11 歲男童在赤柱進行水上活動期間遇上巨 

浪 , 他乘坐的小艇翻側。男童被小艇的吊架鋼索纏住 , 

無法浮上水面 , 因而遇溺身亡。證據顯示 , 該活動的參 

加者沒有接受過處理 “ 翻艇 ” 事故的指導。死因裁判官 

指示陪審團 , 按照證據 , 唯一能作出的結論是死於意 

外。陪審團於是裁定死者因意外身亡 , 並在附加意見中

Ms Memi Ng, SGC, Deputy Policy Coordinator 

on Coronial Inquiries : updating 

the Prosecution Manual for the benefit of 

prosecutors. 

Following the enactment of the Coroners 

Ordinance in 1998, Ms Diane Crebbin, 

SGC, was appointed the Division’s Policy 

Co-ordinator on Coronial Inquiries. Since 

1999, Ms Crebbin has advised the Division 

upon coronial issues, liaised with the 

Coroners’ Court and its registry, advised the 

police upon the circumstances in which they 

should seek legal advice before submitting 

death reports to the coroner, and provided 

guidance to prosecutors on the application 

of the coronial law. In 2007, Ms Memi Ng, 

SGC, Deputy Policy Co-ordinator, rewrote 

the Inquests and Procedure chapter of 

the Prosecution Manual for the benefit of 

prosecutors. 

In January, Ms Teresa Kam, GC, was 

the Coroner’s Officer at the inquest of 

an 11-year-old boy who drowned after 

his dinghy capsized as a result of rough seas during a 

water sports event at Stanley. The deceased died after 

he became entangled by the vessel’s trapeze wires 

and could not surface, and evidence was given that 

participants received no instruction on what to do if a 

boat capsized. After the coroner instructed the jury that 

the only conclusion open on the evidence was that the 

death was accidental, they returned a verdict of death 

by accident. The jury added a rider that the government 

should establish a centralised body to supervise the 

licensing of water sports centres to raise the level of 

safety (CCDI 909 of 2005).



死因研訊 

CORONIAL INQUIRIES 

在 3、4 月間 , 副刑事檢控專員陸貽信資深大律師在檢控 

政策副協調員的協助下 , 在一宗歷時 37 天 , 關係 3 名警務 

人員和一名護衞員死亡的研訊中 , 擔任死因裁判人員。 

案中一名警務人員於 2001 年 3 月被搶去配槍後遭槍殺。其 

後在 2001 年 12 月一宗銀行劫案中 , 該失槍被用以槍殺一 

位護衞員。2006 年 , 一名休班警務人員在尖沙咀一條行 

人隧道內埋伏並槍擊另一名巡邏警員 , 但他在隨即發生 

的槍戰中被擊斃。死因裁判官稱該研訊是 “ 我所見過對 

陪審團來說最艱巨的案件 ”。陪審團裁定 , 該名休班警 

員不合法殺死 3 名死者後 , 合法被殺 ( 死亡個案的調查 / 

研訊 2001 年第 515 及 2261 號 ; 死亡個案的調查 / 研訊 

2006 年第 373 及 374 號 )。 

9 月 , 高級政府律師侯偉泉在一宗關於 5 名年長病人死亡 

的研訊中 , 擔任死因裁判人員。該 5 名病人被黃大仙一家 

診所錯配糖尿病藥格列齊特 (Gliclazide)。死因裁判官排 

除他們死於意外的可能 , 並引導陪審團考慮作出死於自 

然、死於不幸或死因未詳的裁決。陪審團裁定當中 3 名 

死者死於自然。但另外兩名死者 , 因服用糖尿病藥後血 

糖異常下降而致死 , 所以陪審團裁定他們死於不幸。陪 

審團在附加意見中建議採取妥善的配藥程序 , 在藥物的 

商品名稱外再印上其通用名稱及 / 或認可名稱 , 負責配 

藥的護士須接受正式配藥訓練 , 以及為有關護士正式註 

冊 ( 死亡個案的調查 / 研訊 2005 年第 664、670、671、 

681 號 ; 死亡個案的調查 / 研訊 2006 年第 395 號 )。 

In March/April, Mr Arthur Luk, SC, DDPP, assisted by the 

Deputy Policy Co-ordinator, was Coroner’s Officer at a 37- 

day inquest into the death of three police officers and a 

security guard. One officer was shot dead in March 2001 

after his revolver was snatched. The revolver was then 

used to kill the security guard during a bank robbery in 

December 2001. An off-duty police constable who shot 

a patrolling officer during an ambush in a Tsim Sha Tsui 

underpass in 2006 was himself shot dead in the ensuing 

shootout. The coroner called the inquest ‘the most difficult 

case for a jury I have ever seen’, and by their verdicts the 

jury found that the off-duty officer had unlawfully killed the 

three deceased, before himself being lawfully killed (CCDI 

515 & 2261 of 2001; CCDI 373 & 374 of 2006). 

In September, Mr Stewart Hau, SGC, was Coroner’s 

Officer at the inquest into the deaths of five elderly 

patients who were wrongly prescribed the diabetes drug 

Gliclazide at a Wong Tai Sin clinic. The coroner ruled out 

the possibility of accident, and directed the jury to consider 

the options of death by natural causes, by misadventure 

and also the possibility of an open verdict. Although the 

jury decided that three of the deceased had died of natural 

causes, they returned verdicts of death by misadventure in 

respect of two, on the basis that they had died as a result 

of an abnormal fall in blood sugar after taking the diabetes 

drug. The jury added riders concerning the adoption of 

good dispensing practice, the printing of generic and/or 

approval names in addition to trade names, formal training 

for nurses dispensing medicine and the formal registration 

of nurses (CCDI 664, 670, 671, 681 of 2005; CCDI 395 of 

2006).

In its corruption perception index for 2007, Transparency 

International rated Hong Kong as one of the least corrupt 

places in the world. The anti-corruption laws are enforced 

by the Independent Commission Against Corruption 

(ICAC), and these embrace both public and private sector 

corruption. The possession of unexplained wealth by 

those in government is criminalised, and it is an offence for 

public servants to solicit or accept advantages. 

The bribery of public servants in relation to 

contracts or otherwise is an offence, and corrupt 

transactions with agents are prohibited. Hong 

Kong is intolerant of corruption, and the Court of 

Appeal in December said that ‘anyone convicted 

of corruption offences, whether in the public or 

the private sector, cannot expect mercy from the 

court’ (CACC 353 of 2006).

those who sought elected office. Mr Alex Lee, SADPP, and 

the six prosecutors of Section 15 (private sector corruption) 

concentrated upon the prosecution of corrupt activity related 

to corporate and banking fraud, and corrupt activity involving 

agents. Whereas Section 14 prosecuted 136 persons and 

gave 344 advices to the ICAC in 2007, Section 15 prosecuted 

210 persons and gave 415 advices to the ICAC.

was imprisoned for 10 months (DCCC 1203 of 2006). In May, 

a chef prosecuted by Section 15’s Mr Edmond Lee, SGC, 

for accepting sexual services and meals from a subordinate 

in return for favourable staff appraisals, was imprisoned for 

8 months (ESCC 4667 of 2006). In June, a police sergeant 

who solicited and accepted bribes and escort services in 

return for warning the owner of a pornographic disc shop in 

Mong Kok of impending police raids was imprisoned for 16 

months (DCCC 979 of 2006). 

In March, a champion jockey was convicted of conspiracy 

to accept an advantage. The prosecution alleged that the 

accused offered racing tips to three local businessmen 

in return for a share of the bets they laid on his behalf 

in 2005/2006. He tipped horses he rode in 36 races, of 

which 18 won and 8 were placed, and the prosecution 

case was that he rode his mounts to produce the desired 

results. After the judge said that ‘the integrity of horse 

racing must be maintained’, the accused was imprisoned 

for 30 months (DCCC 839 of 2006).

Mr Arthur Luk, SC, DDPP, Head 

of Trials : the maintenance of high 

standards of prosecution. 

Throughout 2007, the Court Specialists of Sub-division II 

focused upon the conduct of significant trials in the higher 

courts, and upon the maintenance of high standards of 

prosecution. To enhance the advocacy techniques of 

the Prosecutions Division, the Court Specialists launched 

a project to produce a Criminal Advocacy Manual for the 

use of prosecutors. Headed by Mr Arthur Luk, SC, DDPP, 

(Head of Trials), the Court Specialists promoted : 

• professional conduct of trials 

• higher levels of advocacy 

• best use of available resources. 

In 2007, there were 14 Court Specialists, 

divided into three advocacy sections. Sections 

5, 6 and 7 were led, respectively, by Mr Peter 

Chapman, SADPP, Mr Francis Lo, SADPP, 

and Miss Mary Sin, SADPP. They prosecuted 

the more serious instances of general crime, 

including murder, rape, drug trafficking, arson 

and kidnapping, and also conducted appeal 

cases. 

In its Strategic Development Programme 

2007-2012, the Prosecutions Division places 

a priority upon its advocacy capability. It 

therefore commits the Division to : 

• 加強各重案檢控組別的能力 

• 安排檢控人員參與重大起訴案的前期案件籌備工作 

• 為專責檢控人員舉辦專家訓練課程 

• 加強對新入職人員的訟辯培訓。 

年內 , 專責重案的檢控人員起訴多宗兇殺案件。在 1 月 , 

高級助理刑事檢控專員卓博文檢控一名將妻子扼斃後潛 

逃內地的男子。該男子被陪審團以 6 對 1 的多數裁決裁定 

謀殺罪名成立 , 判處終身監禁 ( 高院刑事案件 2006 年第 

184 號 )。在 10 月 , 高級政府律師黎婉姬檢控一名男子。 

該男子聲稱兄長企圖強姦其妻 , 遂用鐵鎚將他擊斃。陪 

審團一致裁定該男子謀殺罪名成立 , 判處終身監禁 ; 而 

同案另一被告人則獲陪審團以 6 對 1 的多數裁決裁定罪名 

不成立 ( 高院刑事案件 2007 年第 100 號 )。在 11 月 , 副刑事 

檢控專員陸貽信資深大律師和署理高級政府律師曾藹琪 

檢控兩名新義安成員 , 指控他們串謀殺害一名對頭人 , 

以奪取其不正當業務。兩人被裁定罪名成立 , 各被判處 

監禁 20 年 ( 高院刑事案件 2007 年第 66 號 )。 

• strengthening the advocacy sections 

• involvement of the prosecutor in the early stages of case 

preparation in major prosecutions 

• expert training courses for specialist prosecutors 

• increased advocacy training for new recruits. 

In 2007, the Court Specialists conducted a variety of 

homicide cases. In January, a man prosecuted by Mr Peter 

Chapman, SADPP, for strangling his wife before fleeing to 

the mainland, was sentenced to life imprisonment after a 

jury convicted him of murder by a majority verdict of 6 to 

1 (HCCC 184 of 2006). In October, a man prosecuted by 

Miss Anna Lai, SGC, for using a hammer to beat his brother 

to death because of an alleged rape attempt against his 

wife, was unanimously convicted by a jury of murder and 

sentenced to life imprisonment, whilst a co-accused was 

acquitted by a majority of 6 to 1 (HCCC 100 of 2007). In 

November, two members of the Sun Yee On triad society 

prosecuted by Mr Arthur Luk, SC, DDPP, and Ms Olivia 

Tsang, SGC(Ag), were convicted of conspiring to murder 

a rival so they could take over his illicit business, and 

sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment (HCCC 66 of 2007).

在 1 月 , 高級助理刑事檢控專員李紹強獲委任為刑事上訴 

組主管。該組共有 5 名檢控人員 , 負責籌備在各級法院進 

行的上訴和覆核 , 並出席聆訊。這些上訴案件大部分在

刑過重的上訴。控方如需要就案件提出上訴或尋求判刑 

The Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance provides that 

those convicted of crime may appeal against conviction 

and sentence to a higher tribunal according to law. In 

2007, this right was exercised with regularity by persons 

aggrieved over conviction or sentence, or both. Criminal 

appeals were determined in the Court of Final Appeal, 

the Court of Appeal and the Court of First Instance. The 

prosecution exercised its own right to challenge acquittals 

on points of law in appropriate cases, to seek the review 

of decisions deemed erroneous at the summary level, and 

to apply to review sentences considered to be manifestly 

inadequate, wrong in principle or unauthorised in law. All 

such cases were processed by specialist prosecutors. 

Throughout 2007, the Prosecutions Division conducted 

cases before the Court of Final Appeal and its Appeal 

Committee. These involved cases in which leave to appeal 

had been granted by the Court, or else leave to appeal 

was sought, on the basis either that a point of law of great 

and general importance was involved in the judgment of 

the lower court, or that it was reasonably arguable that 

there had been substantial and grave injustice in the 

earlier proceedings. In 2007, prosecutors appeared in 12 

appeals in the Court of Final Appeal, and in 60 applications 

for leave to appeal before the Appeal Committee. 

In January, Mr Robert Lee, SADPP, was appointed 

Head of the Criminal Appeals Unit (CAU). The CAU 

comprised five prosecutors who prepared and conducted 

appeals and reviews at all levels of court. The bulk of 

cases were conducted in the High Court, where convicted 

persons contended that their convictions were unsafe or 

unsatisfactory, or that there had been a wrong decision of 

law at trial or else a material irregularity. The CAU also 

handled appeals in which complaint was made that the 

sentences of the trial courts were excessive. The CAU 

advised the DPP on cases where it was necessary for 

the prosecution to initiate an appeal, or for a review of 

sentence to be pursued. 

The CAU advises others in the Division on appellate 

practice and procedure, and provides appropriate liaison 

with outside bodies. In 2006, the CAU produced the 

Criminal Appeals Manual to provide prosecutors with 

a ready source of reference material, and in its first full

就刑事上訴事宜採取新的和繼續的措施包括 : 

• 設立案件提示系統 , 把重要的上訴判決盡早通知檢控人員 

• 每月發行簡訊 , 使檢控人員能得悉最新的案例 

• 修改有關待決上訴的案件的監察系統 

• 舉辦上訴訟辯研討會 

• 為新入職的檢控人員舉辦以中文進行的模擬上訴。

庭作出了意義重大的判決 , 命令將 4 名屠宰狗隻作食物的 

男子監禁 14 天 ( 高院裁判法院上訴 2007 年第 89 號 )。 

2007 年 , 刑事上訴組處理和進行了 1,580 宗判罪及判刑上 

訴 , 並代表控方提出 11 宗上訴 , 和向上訴法庭提出 12 宗 

覆核判刑申請。至於循簡易程序審訊的案件 , 該組在 

year of operation the Manual contributed to enhanced 

standards amongst prosecutors. New and ongoing 

appellate initiatives adopted in 2007 included : 

• a case alert system to provide prosecutors with early 

notification of significant appellate judgments 

• a monthly bulletin to keep prosecutors abreast of latest 

case law 

• a revision of the monitoring system for pending appeals 

• a seminar on appellate advocacy 

• a mock Chinese language appeal for new prosecutors. 

Where the interests of justice required, reviews of sentence 

were instituted in 2007. In January, after Mr Kevin 

Zervos, SC, DDPP(Ag), Head of Appeals, sought a review 

of a sentence of 6 years’ imprisonment imposed upon an 

accused who stabbed a police officer with a fruit knife during 

an identity card check, the Court of Appeal increased the 

imprisonment to 10 years for what it called ‘a vicious act of 

violence’ (CAAR 3 of 2006). In May, after Mr David Leung, 

SGC, Deputy Head of the CAU, sought a review of a fine 

of $2,000 imposed upon a teacher who hit a 9-year-old girl 

200 times with a ruler, the Court substituted a sentence of 

imprisonment of three months, suspended for one year 

(CAAR 10 of 2006). In June, Mr Leung appeared before 

the Court of First Instance when, in a landmark judgment, 

it ordered the imprisonment of four men for 14 days for 

killing dogs to eat (HCMA 89 of 2007). 

In 2007, the CAU processed and conducted 1,580 

appeals against conviction and sentence. It also instituted 

11 appeals by the prosecution. Reviews of sentence to 

the Court of Appeal were pursued in 12 cases. At the 

summary level, the CAU initiated reviews of the decisions 

of magistrates in 80 cases.

達 3,140 萬元。在 2,227 的個案中 , 違法者被判處監禁。 

如案件涉及有組織罪行 , 檢控人員會根據《有組織及嚴 

重罪行條例》要求加重判刑。第 6 組與海關聯手執行 

《進出口條例》、《應課稅品條例》和《消費品安全條 

例》。該組密切注視定罪個案的量刑 , 確保判刑能起阻 

嚇作用。該組又支持海關為提高調查工作水平而舉辦的 

培訓計劃。 

Forfeiture orders were sought where practicable in 

respect of smuggled goods, and also for vehicles and 

vessels used in connection with smuggling offences. In 

2007, goods worth $395.8 million were forfeited by the 

courts, as compared to the 2006 figure of $248.9 million, 

and the 2005 figure of $302 million. These included 

illicit drugs worth $166.1 million; infringing goods worth 

$82.9 million; counterfeit goods worth $12.4 million; 

smuggled merchandise worth $433 million; and dutiable 

commodities worth $20.6 million. 

In January, a company was fined $100,000 for six offences 

involving the import/export of strategic commodities 

(deuterium in nitrogen) valued at $345,717 (KTS 19168- 

73 of 2006). Three accused sentenced to 15 months’ 

imprisonment for attempting to export 1,903,500 optical 

discs by sea without authorisation lost their appeals 

after the judge said the sentences were ‘well within the 

tariff’ (HCMA 1020 of 2006). In September, the Appeal 

Committee refused leave to appeal to an accused who 

was convicted of attempting to export unmanifested 

cargo and imprisoned for 3 months after Customs 

established that he had made arrangements for five 

containers containing unmanifested cargo to be shipped 

out of Hong Kong (FAMC 15 of 2007). In October, a 

contractor prosecuted by Section 6’s Mr Derek Lai, SGC, 

for supplying for trade a defective dispenser at a fuel 

station was fined $4,500 after a shortfall in fuel supply 

was detected by a customer (TMS 4536 of 2007). 

In 2007, Customs prosecutions resulted in total fines upon 

offenders of $31.4 million, and the imposition of 2,227 

custodial sentences. In cases where organized crime 

was involved, sentence enhancement was sought under 

the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance. Section 6 

worked with Customs to enforce the Import and Export 

Ordinance, the Dutiable Commodities Ordinance and 

the Consumer Goods Safety Ordinance, and sentencing 

levels were closely monitored in convicted cases in the 

interests of deterrence. Section 6 also supported the 

Customs training agenda to promote higher standards 

of investigation.

家庭暴力 

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 

刑事檢控科在 2006 年公布《檢控涉及家庭暴力案件的 

政策》(“ 該政策 ”)。該政策實施一年以來 , 令家庭暴 

力受害者得到的對待有所改善。政策除了為檢控人員制 

定基本守則和鼓勵他們以最佳方法對待受害者外 , 更提 

高這個備受公眾關注的問題的透明度 , 並使受害者明白 

本身的權益。該政策與《對待受害者及證人的陳述書 

(2004 年 )》互相補足 , 旨在加強公眾對刑事司法制度的 

信心 , 也指引檢控人員如何與他人往來。 

The Prosecutions Division issued The Policy for Prosecuting 

Cases involving Domestic Violence (‘The Policy’) in 2006. 

In its first full year of operation, The Policy contributed to a 

better deal for the victims of domestic violence. Apart from 

setting benchmarks for prosecutors and encouraging best 

practice in the treatment of victims, it advanced transparency 

in an area of public concern and alerted victims to their 

rights. The Policy complemented The Statement on the 

Treatment of Victims and Witnesses (2004), which guides 

prosecutors in their dealings with others, and is designed to 

promote public confidence in criminal justice.

會上以 “ 無罪案家庭 ” 為題致辭。 

Mr John Reading, SC, DDPP, Policy Co-ordinator on Victims 

Rights, addresses the ACPF Silver Jubilee and Symposium, in 

Tokyo, on ‘Home without Crime’ on 3 October 2007. 

The Policy is a practical guide, which places 

those affected by domestic violence at the 

heart of our approach to prosecuting. It 

recognises that justice is the right of those 

who are abused in a domestic context. In 

2007, The Policy guided prosecutors in their 

dealings with others, both at the advisory 

stage and at court. Apart from explaining 

domestic violence and the role of the 

prosecutor, The Policy considers charging 

practice, encourages the avoidance of delay, 

examines the position of the victim, prioritises 

victim support, reviews the use of bind-over 

orders, and seeks appropriate levels of 

sentencing for offenders.

7 月 , 易受傷害證人組主管高級助理刑事檢控專員張維新 , 

向立法會福利事務委員會講解檢控人員處理涉及家庭暴

對家庭其他成員帶來的影響 ”。10 月 , 受害者權益檢控 

政策協調員副刑事檢控專員李定國資深大律師與立法會 

議員討論家庭暴力問題 , 並表示 :“ 為了公眾利益 , 一 

般而言在有足夠證據達至合理的定罪機會 , 而受害者又 

願意作證的情況下 , 會就涉及家庭暴力的案件提出檢控 ”。 

In July, Mr Patrick Cheung, SADPP, Head of 

the Vulnerable Witness Team, explained to the Panel on 

Welfare Services of the Legislative Council the parameters 

within which the prosecutor operates in cases of domestic 

violence. He said that before initiating a prosecution, it was 

necessary to ‘bear in mind the effect of prosecution on other 

members of the family’. In October, Mr John Reading, SC, 

DDPP, Policy Co-ordinator on Victims Rights, discussed 

domestic violence with legislators, and said that ‘the 

public interest will normally require that a prosecution be 

brought in a case of domestic violence if there is sufficient 

evidence to provide a reasonable prospect of conviction 

and the victim is willing to give evidence’. 

In October, the Policy Co-ordinator participated in the Silver 

Jubilee of the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation, in Tokyo, 

and considered family violence in the commemorative

10 月 , 檢控政策協調員出席在東京舉行的亞洲預防犯罪 

基金會銀禧紀念活動 , 並在紀念研討會上以 “ 無罪案家 

庭 ” 為題 , 探討家庭暴力問題。李定國認為家庭暴力有 

以下特點 : 

• 日趨普遍 

• 可能涉及極端暴力行為 

symposium on ‘Home without Crime’. Mr Reading said 

domestic violence had certain features : 

• it was prevalent 

• the violence could be extreme 

• the physical, emotional, mental and financial effects 

might be long-lasting 

• 在身體、情緒、精神和經濟方面可能有長遠影響 

• it often continued until the cycle of abuse was broken 

• 家庭暴力多會持續 , 直至施虐的循環模式被打破為止 

• the victim was often dependent upon the offender 

• 受害者大多是依靠犯罪者供養 

• 對犯罪者施加的懲處 , 可能同時對受害者有負面影響。 

2007 年 , 本科 3 名高級檢控人員就涉及家庭暴力和虐待兒

• the sanctions imposed upon the offender might also 

adversely affect the victim. 

In 2007, Miss Agnes Chan, SGC, one of the Division’s 

three senior prosecutors who co-ordinate policy in cases 

related to domestic violence and child abuse, contributed 

to a project of the Social Welfare Department to produce a 

‘Docudrama for the victims of spouse battery’. As part of a 

team which included a police officer, a clinical psychologist 

and a social worker, Miss Chan drafted the script describing 

our policy for prosecuting domestic violence cases. The 

Docudrama, produced by Salon Production House, was 

published in June, and has since been widely utilised. 

Throughout 2007, the courts were intolerant of domestic 

violence in all forms. In July, a man who slashed the face 

of his mainland wife during an argument was sentenced 

to 3 years’ imprisonment (DCCC 215 of 2007). In August, 

an appellate court imposed a sentence of 4 years and 

6 months’ imprisonment upon an uncle who abused his 

8-year-old niece (CACC 315 of 2006). In September, a 

26-year-old mother who caused her young sons to suffer 

serious malnutrition and retarded development over a 5- 

year-period was imprisoned for 4 years for three offences 

of child abuse (HCCC 111 of 2007).

the prosecution policy guidelines devised for it by the 

Division in the conduct of its cases. 

Throughout 2007, Ms Olivia Tsang, SGC(Ag), advised 

the EPD upon its investigations and prosecutions, and

particular projects without an environmental permit 

issued by the EPD face fines of up to $2,000,000 on a 

first conviction, and imprisonment for 6 months. In June, 

prosecutors secured the first conviction under the EIAO, 

and two contractors were each fined $7,500 for breach of 

environmental permit conditions and causing pollution to 

the Tung Chung Stream on Lantau Island (ESS 14805 &

The Montreal Protocol requires the proper control of 

substances which deplete the ozone layer, and is applicable 

to Hong Kong. It achieves effect through the Ozone 

Layer Protection Ordinance (OLPO), which contains a 

regime ‘to provide for the prohibition of the manufacture 

of, and to control the importation and exportation of, and 

to conserve the resources of, substances that deplete 

the ozone layer and of products containing or made with 

those substances’. Those who manufacture scheduled 

substances to the detriment of the ozone layer are liable 

to fines of up to $1,000,000 and imprisonment for 2 years. 

Ozone offences are rare in Hong Kong, and in 2007 there 

were 4 convictions for violations of the OLPO, and these 

attracted fines and a sentence of imprisonment. 

The Waste Disposal Ordinance controls the disposal of 

waste, including its import and export, in the interests 

of public safety. It fulfils Hong Kong’s international 

obligations under the Basel Convention on the Control 

of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and 

their Disposal. On a first conviction, the unauthorised 

import and export of waste is punishable with fines of up 

to $200,000 and imprisonment for 6 months. In August, 

a company was convicted of two offences involving the 

illegal importation of electronic waste into Hong Kong and 

fined a total of $160,000 (FLS 3835 & 3836 of 2007). In 

2007, fines which totalled $1,976,400 were imposed by 

the courts on those who violated the Ordinance, compared 

with $630,000 in 2006, and $338,500 in 2005. In 2007, 

there were 113 prosecutions for offences under this

Mr Kevin Zervos, SC, DDPP(Ag), Policy Co-ordinator on 

Gambling, and the prosecutors of Section 10, advised 

the police on anti-gambling activities in 2007, and on the 

institution of prosecutions under the Gambling Ordinance 

and the Betting Duty Ordinance. Section 10 prosecutors 

liaised with police formations throughout the year in the 

combat of localised gambling crime, and co-operated 

with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau to counter 

syndicated bookmaking operations. Prosecutions for 

money laundering were mounted where feasible by 

Section 10 to target the proceeds of illicit gambling. 

In February, the Court of Final Appeal dismissed the appeal 

of an Indonesian businessman who was 

imprisoned for 5½ years for bookmaking 

and money laundering after a trial at which 

the evidence showed his involvement in a 

bookmaking operation which generated 

$800 million over a 4-year-period ([2007] 

1 HKLRD 568). In June, two accused who 

appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of 

Appeal against their sentences of 4 years’ 

imprisonment for laundering money which derived from 

bookmaking were told that ‘those who assist bookmakers 

by providing a conduit for the large sums of money that 

are generated provide the bookmakers with an invaluable 

facility’ (CACC 100 of 2006). 

In 2007, Section 10 provided 94 advices in relation to 

unlawful gambling activity. There were 817 cases of 

unlawful gambling prosecuted during the year. In total, 

3,960 persons were convicted of gambling offences.

考慮以在港非法逗留的罪名對該人提出檢控。在這情況 

下提出檢控 , 可能是完全不適當的 ”( 沙田裁判法院刑事 

案件 2007 年第 1483 號 )。 

In January, Miss Agnes Chan, SGC, was appointed Policy 

Co-ordinator on Immigration. Throughout the year, she 

advised the Immigration Department upon its cases, 

and developed prosecution policy to reflect changing 

circumstances. Typical cases handled by the Policy 

Co-ordinator included the use or possession of forged 

travel documents, conspiracy to defraud the immigration 

authorities, unlawful entry and illegal employment. In 

October, the Court of First Instance confirmed that 

persons who used false travel documents or made false 

representations to immigration personnel faced sentences 

of 18 months’ imprisonment (HCMA 792 of 2007). 

In March, the Policy Co-ordinator formulated prosecution 

policy towards refugees, asylum seekers and torture 

claimants. Asylum seekers and torture claimants are 

not liable to prosecution for an immigration offence 

related to the claim pending its resolution by the relevant 

authority. If a charge is laid, it will be adjourned. After 

prosecution policy was queried in March, Miss Chan told 

the magistrates court that until such time as a person’s 

‘asylum and torture claims are resolved, it would not be 

appropriate to consider prosecuting him for the offence 

of illegal remaining in Hong Kong. Any such prosecution 

may be wholly inappropriate’ (STCC 1483 of 2007). 

In 2007, the Policy Co-ordinator advised upon the 

prosecution of cases involving bogus marriages between 

mainlanders and local residents designed to circumvent 

controls in working in Hong Kong. In October, the 

mastermind of a syndicate which arranged about 100 false 

marriages for profits of up to $3 million was convicted of 

conspiracy to defraud and imprisoned for one year. The 

magistrate said that although it was not an offence to enter 

into a bogus marriage, the syndicate attempted ‘to use the

on the mainland and in Hong Kong, and that is a crime’ 

(STCC 5630 of 2007). 

In May, seven people involved in a scheme to sell 

genuine passports to a forgery syndicate were convicted 

of conspiracy to transfer a travel document to another. 

The leader of the syndicate recruited others to apply for 

passports from the Immigration Department which they 

would later sell to the syndicate. After the judge said 

that the illicit transfer of passports was a serious offence 

which attacked the integrity of the immigration system, the 

accused were sentenced to terms of imprisonment which 

ranged from 28 months to 14 months (DCCC 1194 of 

2006). 

The proper control of the movement of persons is crucial to 

the comity of nations. In June, two accused who arranged 

for a mainlander to use a false passport to go to the United 

States via Hong Kong and South Korea were convicted of 

a conspiracy related to people smuggling. The judge said 

the offence involved significant planning and premeditation, 

and that it was necessary to combat this kind of offence in 

order to maintain Hong Kong’s good relations with foreign 

countries. One accused was imprisoned for 3 years and 

the other for 18 months (DCCC 901 of 2006). 

In 2007, there were 605 advices provided to the Immigration 

Department. In total, 11,037 persons were prosecuted for 

immigration offences. These, most commonly, involved 

remaining illegally in Hong Kong, breaching conditions of 

stay, using or possessing forged travel documents, and 

making false representations or statements.

be cut from 17.5 per cent to 16.5 per cent, in 2008-2009. 

Salaries tax is charged on emoluments arising in, or 

derived from, Hong Kong. Profits tax is charged on net 

profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong, from a trade, 

profession or business carried on in Hong Kong. Salaries 

and profits tax are the major sources of revenue, and the 

Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is responsible for tax 

collection and the investigation of cases of tax evasion. 

In January, Miss Louisa Lai, SADPP, was appointed Head 

of Section 13, and advised the IRD throughout the year 

upon its investigations into offences against the revenue, 

and upon the viability of prosecutions. These involved 

cases of wilful tax evasion, cheating the public revenue, 

failing to make tax returns, and supplying the IRD with 

false information. Upon conviction, offenders were liable 

to imprisonment for 3 years and a fine, plus an additional 

penalty of three times the amount of tax undercharged.

1 月 , 高級助理刑事檢控專員黎雅雯女士獲委為第 13 組主 

管 , 就有損稅收的罪行及其檢控的事宜 , 向稅務局提供 

法律指引。這些案件涉及蓄意逃稅、騙取政府收入、未 

有填交報稅表 , 以及向稅務局提供虛假資料。違例者一 

經定罪 , 最高可被判處監禁 3 年及罰款 , 另加相等於少徵 

收稅款 3 倍的附加罰款。 

逃稅令稅收減少 , 使整體社會受損。因此 , 第 13 組的檢 

控人員在年內提出連串檢控。逃稅計劃往往是複雜和長 

時間進行的 , 稅務局因此投放大量資源進行調查。法院 

的政策是遏止逃稅行為。年內 , 法院審理這類案件時 , 

有判處監禁的 , 也有延緩執行。為使刑罰能收阻嚇作 

用 , 第 13 組一直密切注視判刑的輕重。 

The loss of tax revenue through tax evasion affects 

the community as a whole, and Section 13 prosecutors 

pursued a series of prosecutions in 2007. Tax evasion 

schemes were frequently complex and protracted, and the 

IRD deployed wide resources in their investigation. The 

policy of the courts is to deter tax evasion, and custodial 

sentences, sometimes suspended, were imposed during 

the year in the disposal of cases. Sentencing levels 

were closely monitored by Section 13 in the interests of 

deterrence. 

In June, Section 13’s Miss Grace Chan, SGC, prosecuted 

a property owner who concealed $3.1 million in rental 

income he received from commercial premises in order 

to evade tax payments of $439,000. The accused was 

sentenced to 4 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 

2 years, and to a fine of $879,218 (DCCC 391 of 2007). 

In July, Miss Chan prosecuted the former president of 

a consultancy company who evaded $350,000 in tax 

by concealing $2.21 million in profits by claiming the 

company had closed in 1999, when in fact it continued 

operating until 2001. He was sentenced to 7 months’

The labour legislation in Hong Kong is designed to protect 

the rights of workers, and to improve health and safety at the 

workplace. In 2007, the Labour Team of the Prosecutions 

Division advised the Labour Department upon its cases, 

and facilitated its prosecutions. Typical cases involved 

non-payment of wages by employers or underpayment, 

improper termination of employment, failure to provide 

insurance cover and inadequate construction site safety.

Mr Joseph Wong, SGC, Head of the Labour 

Team : providing an in-house advisory service 

at the Labour Department. 

Throughout 2007, the Labour Team, 

headed by Mr Joseph Wong, SGC, 

provided a weekly in-house advisory 

service at the Labour Department for 

the benefit of investigators. 

Labour 

Department prosecutors received 

specialist training from the Division, 

and participated in the Departmental 

Prosecutors Training Course. At both the 

prosecutorial and investigatory levels, 

the Division promoted higher standards 

amongst labour personnel. 

Employers who fail to pay their workers 

as required are liable to fines of up to 

$350,000 and sentences of imprisonment 

of 3 years. In 2007, a director of a travel agency received 

a suspended sentence of 4 months’ imprisonment for 

failure to pay the wages of six employees (KTS 2798-2803 

of 2007). A company was fined $140,000 for not paying 

wages of $200,000 on time to five workers, and failing to 

grant three statutory holidays to one of them (FLS 12745- 

57 of 2006). A property management director who failed 

to pay wages and redundancy settlements to 200 staff 

received a suspended sentence of imprisonment of 

4 weeks (KTS 13806-820 of 2007). 

In 2007, the Labour Team provided 436 advices to the 

Labour Department. There were 5,368 cases prosecuted 

for breaches of labour legislation, resulting in 4,554 

convictions. 

In 5 cases terms of imprisonment were 

imposed, and fines totalled $23,127,751.

刑事檢控科在策略檢討中 , 承諾致力對製造、分銷和管 

有危險藥物的人提出有效的檢控 , 令他們得到應有的刑 

罰。在 2007 年 , 本科其中一項重要任務 , 是全力檢控 

涉及各種毒品罪行的人。檢控人員引用《危險藥物條 

例》, 對製造、分銷和管有危險藥物的人提出檢控。因 

非法販運和製造危險藥物 , 循公訴程序被定罪者可被判 

終身監禁和罰款 500 萬元。任何人如管有危險藥物 , 一經 

定罪 , 可被判處監禁 7 年和罰款 100 萬元。 

Through its strategic reviews, the Prosecutions Division 

is committed to the effective prosecution of persons who 

manufacture, distribute or possess dangerous drugs, 

and to seeking realistic sentences for offenders. The 

vigorous prosecution of those who dealt in any way with 

narcotics was a priority of the Division in 2007, and the 

Dangerous Drugs Ordinance was deployed to prosecute 

manufacturers, distributors and possessors of dangerous 

drugs. Those convicted on indictment of unlawful 

trafficking or manufacturing dangerous drugs faced life 

imprisonment and a fine of $5 million. Those possessed 

of dangerous drugs were liable on conviction to 7 years’ 

imprisonment and a fine of $1 million.

判刑指引 ( 覆核申請 2006 年第 7 號及刑事上訴案件 2007 年 

第 126 號 )。這項申請是基於社會關注到年輕人濫用藥物 

的情況嚴重 , 被捕數字偏高和在派對中檢獲藥物的數量 

屢破紀錄。藥物濫用資料中央檔案室的資料顯示 , 濫用 

藥物的青少年罪犯 (16 至 20 歲 ) 由 2003 年的 1,791 人增至 

2006 年的 2,103 人。檢控政策協調員向法庭表示 , 現行 

判刑指引未能反映問題的嚴重程度 , 而且 “ 顯然不合時 

宜 ”。 

年內 , 檢控人員及調查人員緊密合作 , 制定打擊毒品罪 

In 2007, Mr Kevin Zervos, SC, DDPP(Ag), Policy Coordinator 

on Narcotics, applied prosecution policy to 

counter drug crime, and kept sentencing levels in narcotics 

cases under regular review. In November, Mr Zervos 

invited the Court of Appeal to review the sentencing 

guidelines for both ketamine and ecstasy (CAAR 7 of 

2006 & CACC 126 of 2007). This followed concerns over 

the high levels of drug abuse by young persons, the large 

number of arrests and the record seizures of party drugs. 

The Central Registry for Drug Abuse recorded a rise in the 

number of young offenders (16-20) abusing drugs from 

1,791 in 2003 to 2,103 in 2006. The Policy Co-ordinator 

told the Court that existing guidelines did not reflect the 

extent of the problem, and were ‘clearly out of date’. 

Throughout 2007, prosecutors and investigators worked in 

tandem to develop effective strategies to combat narcotics. 

The Division liaised with the Hong Kong Police Force, 

the Customs and Excise Department and the Narcotics 

Division in the interests of better law enforcement and 

more effective prosecutions. Prosecutors also supported 

the task force established to spearhead governmental 

efforts to tackle youth drug abuse. When the sentencing 

level for drug traffickers was questioned in July, the DPP 

said that ‘those who deal in dangerous drugs must expect 

to face very serious consequences when apprehended’ 

(HCCC 80 of 2007). 

Throughout 2007, the courts were supplied with materials 

illustrating the prevalence of offences and the effects of 

narcotics, and deterrent sentences were the norm. In

The Prevention of Child Pornography Ordinance (PCPO) 

was enacted in 2003, and gave effect to the United Nations 

Convention on the Rights of the Child. Those who make, 

produce, publish or advertise child pornography 

face 8 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $2,000,000. 

Possession of child pornography is punishable upon 

conviction with 5 years’ imprisonment and a fine of 

$1,000,000. In 2007, 10 persons were prosecuted for 

offences under the PCPO, and at year’s end, 7 had been 

convicted, whilst the trials of 3 were pending. 

In 2007, Ms Anthea Pang, SGC, was appointed as 

Policy Co-ordinator on Obscene Articles and Child 

Pornography. She processed cases arising under the 

PCPO as well as under the COIAO, and advised the 

Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) 

upon cases which involved the COIAO. The Policy Coordinator 

appeared as required before the OAT when its 

rulings were subject to challenge. During 2007, TELA 

referred 217 articles to the OAT for classification. Of 

these, 59 articles were classified as obscene, and 87 

as indecent. These positive classifications resulted in 

76 prosecutions for offences under the COIAO. 

In February, a businessman prosecuted by Mr Hayson 

Tse, SGC, pleaded guilty to possession of the largest 

amount of child pornography to have been seized since 

the introduction of the PCPO. When the police raided his 

home, they found 27,260 digital images and 470 video 

clips on two desktop computers and three hard disks, and 

the accused admitted that he had downloaded them from 

the Internet and viewed them frequently over a span of

judge said it was necessary to demonstrate to the public 

that such behaviour was intolerable, and he imposed a 

sentence of 16 months’ imprisonment (DCCC 1131 of 

2006). 

In May, in the first prosecution of its type under the 

COAIO, an accused prosecuted by Miss Helen Tai, CP, 

pleaded guilty to publishing eight obscene photographs via 

a local Internet forum. The photographs were classified as 

Class III by the OAT, and a police investigation revealed 

that the accused provided a linked message which, when 

clicked, would enable other forum users to access an 

overseas pornographic website showing the photographs. 

After the magistrate said that the photographs were 

obscene but not extreme or deviant, he imposed a fine of 

$5,000 (KTCC 3075 of 2007). 

In July, an accused prosecuted by Ms Florence Chu, SCP II, 

pleaded guilty to possession of 376 still images and 

73 videos of child pornography. The items were found 

by the police on his home computer, and they depicted 

children as young as eight years participating in sexual 

acts. After the magistrate said ‘when there is a market, 

the evil will continue to do this to children, and children 

have to be protected at this young age’, the accused was 

sentenced to 8 months’ imprisonment (KTCC 3862 of 

2007). 

In 2007, Miss Agnes Chan SGC, the former Policy Coordinator 

on Obscene Articles and Child Pornography, 

appeared before the Court of Appeal when it reviewed 

the functions of the OAT. The Court held that the OAT’s 

classification function and its court referral function were 

separate and distinct, and that there was a very real 

difference between them. When the OAT was asked 

to make findings of obscenity and indecency in civil or 

criminal proceedings, questions as to the burden and 

standard of proof would arise. The Court said the OAT 

exercised an administrative as well as a judicial function 

which was ‘unique’ ([2007] 3 HKLRD 673).

社會福利 

SOCIAL WELFARE 

社會福利署 (“ 社署 ”) 為香港提供全面的社會福利保障。綜 

合社會保障援助 (“ 綜援 ”) 計劃為經濟有困難的人士提供 

現金援助 ; 公共福利金計劃則以現金津貼形式 , 協助受 

助人應付特別需要。詐騙案件在現行社會福利制度中時 

有發生。 

2007 年 , 刑事檢控科向社署提供法律指引共 348 次 , 代 

表社署進行檢控共 208 次。這類案件大多涉及以欺詐手段 

申請社會福利保障 , 以及不當運用福利金。 

1 月 , 高級助理刑事檢控專員薛偉成資深大律師檢控一名 

前法官及其律師妻子騙取社署綜援金 101,344 元 , 並以 

虛假陳述取得一個公共房屋單位。他們向社署申請福利 

時 , 隱瞞擁有資產 192 萬元。裁判官判兩人各監禁 11 個月 

( 九龍城裁判法院刑事案件 2006 年第 637 號 )。其後 , 上訴 

法庭 “ 出於憐憫 ”, 將被告人等釋放 , 但指出原來的判刑 

是恰當的。 

3 月 , 高級助理刑事檢控專員張維新要求上訴法庭覆核一 

名社會福利申領人監禁 8 個月 , 但暫緩執行的判刑。該 

被告人向社署虛假聲稱與丈夫失去聯絡 , 因而符合領取 

綜援的資格 , 並取得福利金 2,475 元。法庭在駁回覆核申 

請時強調 , 在合適的案件 , 當判處嚴厲的刑罰 ([2007] 2 

HKLRD 90)。 

在 4 月 , 高級政府律師陳月兒要求覆核一名被告人 120 小 

時社會服務令的判刑。該被告人向社署隱瞞她的受僱記 

錄及朋友的財政協助 , 藉以騙取 338,401 元。裁判官認同 

其判刑過於寬大 , 遂改判被告人監禁 6 個月 , 並指 “ 欺騙 

福利援助實際上剝奪了急需金錢援助的人得到應有福利 

的權利 ”( 觀塘裁判法院刑事案件 2006 年第 5273 號 )。 

The Social Welfare Department (SWD) makes 

comprehensive provision for social security in Hong Kong. 

The Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) 

scheme provides cash assistance to people suffering from 

financial hardship. The Social Security Allowance (SSA) 

scheme provides recipients with allowances to cope with 

special needs. Fraud is sometimes practised upon the 

social welfare system. 

In 2007, the Prosecutions Division provided 348 advices 

to the SWD. In total, the Division conducted 208 

prosecutions on behalf of the SWD. Such cases most 

typically involved fraudulent applications for social security, 

and the improper use of welfare payments. 

In January, Mr Kevin Zervos, SC, SADPP, prosecuted a 

former judge and his lawyer wife for defrauding the SWD 

of $101,344 in CSSA, and obtaining a public housing flat 

by false representations. They concealed their assets of 

$1.92 million when claiming benefits, and the magistrate 

imprisoned each for 11 months (KCCC 637 of 2006). An 

appeal judge later freed the accused as an ‘act of mercy’, 

but said the original sentences were justified. 

In March, Mr Patrick Cheung, SADPP, invited the Court 

of Appeal to review a suspended sentence of 8 months’ 

imprisonment imposed upon a welfare claimant. She 

falsely claimed to the SWD that she had lost contact with 

her husband, so that she became eligible for CSSA, and 

procured $2,475 in benefits. In dismissing the application, 

the court emphasised that severe sentences were 

warranted in appropriate cases ([2007] 2 HKLRD 90). 

In April, Miss Grace Chan, SGC, sought a review of a 

community service order of 120 hours imposed upon an 

accused who cheated the SWD of $338,401 by concealing 

her employment records and financial help received from 

friends. The magistrate accepted his sentence was unduly 

lenient and substituted 6 months’ imprisonment, and 

commented that ‘fraud on welfare assistance is actually 

depriving people who are in urgent need of money from 

obtaining what they are entitled to’ (KTCC 5273 of 2006).

在 8 月 , 檢控政策協調員到吉隆坡出席第四屆國際檢察 

官聯合會亞太區會議 , 並以 “ 電腦罪行 ” 為題發表演 

Since the Prosecutions Division created its Computer Crime 

Team (CCT) in 1999, the CCT has contributed to strategies 

to combat technology crime, advised law enforcers upon 

their investigations, promoted best practice in relation 

to computer forensics, and liaised with its counterparts 

in other jurisdictions to combat cyber crime. The CCT 

shares its experiences with others in government, and 

applies latest techniques in the prosecution of offenders. 

In April, Microsoft described the CCT as ‘one of the elite 

hi-tech crime prosecution units in the region’. 

Headed by Mr Richard Turnbull, SADPP, Policy Coordinator 

on Computer Crime, the CCT applied a fourpronged 

approach to technology crime in 2007. At 

the international level, close liaison was maintained 

with experts from elsewhere. Advice was given to 

policy makers upon the development of local laws, and 

the Policy Co-ordinator advised upon the Unsolicited 

Electronic Messages Ordinance, designed to stem 

spam e-mails, text messages, pre-recorded calls, faxes 

and video and audio messages. The CCT advised the 

technology crime teams of the law enforcement agencies 

upon their investigations. At court, the CCT marshalled 

its evidence with precision and clarity. 

Typical cases prosecuted by the CCT included crimes 

against computers, such as hacking and damage, crimes 

using computers, such as online fraud and phishing, 

and conventional crimes, such as unlawful Internet 

gambling and accessing/publishing pornography. The 

courts have indicated that non-custodial sentences are 

ordinarily inappropriate where there is computer hacking 

and economic harm caused by damage to computer 

software, and prosecutors were vigilant in defence of 

our systems. 

In August, the Policy Co-ordinator addressed the 4th 

Asia and Pacific Regional Conference of the International 

Association of Prosecutors, in Kuala Lumpur, the theme of 

which was ‘Computer Crime’. He said that the revolution 

in information technology had changed society, that 

criminal conduct had become more far-reaching, and 

that ‘prosecutors must keep abreast of technological 

developments’. Mr Turnbull explained that the challenges 

facing law enforcers included : legislative problems; 

technical challenges to finding evidence; international 

dimensions; searching computers without warrants; postarrest 

searches of electronic devices; format of search 

warrants; admission of digital evidence.

In February, Mr David Leung, SGC, Vice-chairman of the 

Information Security and Forensics Society, addressed 

the 4th Integrated Security Conference and Expo on 

‘Computer Crime Overview and Preventive Measures for 

Today’s Complex Business Environment’. In May, the 

Policy Co-ordinator briefed Ms Bessie Pang, Executive 

Director, Society for the Policing of Cyberspace, on 

local compliance with the Cybercrime Convention. In 

November, Mr Turnbull addressed the Policing Cyberspace 

International Summit 2007, in Bangkok, on ‘Difficulties in 

Prosecuting Cyber Crime’. When interviewed by Sing 

Tao Daily about the problems caused by the transfer of 

infringing movie and music through the Internet, the Policy 

Co-ordinator explained that ‘the prosecution of infringers 

takes a lot of time and money and necessitates the seizure 

of computers at the home of each infringer’. 

In August, Ms Winnie Ho, Deputy Policy Co-ordinator, 

prosecuted a tourist for obtaining access to a computer 

with a view to dishonest gain and for fraud. Having gained 

illegal access to the Internet through a wireless router he 

then made online purchases of electronic goods worth 

$36,000. Different credit card information was used for 

each purchase, and a delivery address in Tsuen Wan was 

provided. The accused was arrested when he tried to 

collect the goods, and his notebook computer was found 

to contain sufficient information on seven credit cards to 

make forged cards. Having said such behaviour could ruin 

consumer confidence in online business and a deterrent 

penalty was required, the judge sentenced the accused to 

32 months’ imprisonment (DCCC 389 of 2007). 

In 2007, there were 634 reported cases of technology 

crime, as compared to 741 in 2006 and 667 in 2005. 

The CCT prosecuted 21 cases of computer crime and 

20 persons were convicted. The CCT provided 32 advices 

related to technology crime.

恐怖主義 

TERRORISM 

自 “ 九一一 ” 事件發生後 , 香港一直致力參與國際打 

擊恐怖主義的工作。《聯合國 ( 反恐怖主義措施 ) 條例》 

(2002 年 ) 及其修訂條例 (2004 年 ) 確保香港的法例符合聯 

合國安全理事會第 1373 號決議及財務行動特別組織關於 

反恐工作的建議。金融界須向當局舉報可能與恐怖分子 

有關的交易 , 而執法人員在法庭管制下可凍結恐怖分子 

的資金。 

Hong Kong since 9/11 has contributed to international 

initiatives to counter terrorism. The United Nations (Anti- 

Terrorism Measures) Ordinance (2002) and its amendment 

law (2004) ensure compatibility between local legislation 

and UNSCR 1373 and the anti-terrorism recommendations 

of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The financial 

sector is required to report transactions which might be 

terrorist-linked, and law enforcers may freeze terrorist 

funds, subject to court control. 

6 月 , 美國東亞暨太平洋事務局在其向美國國會提交的 

《美國 - 香港政策法案》報告中指出 ,“ 香港鼎力支持 

全球打擊恐怖活動的工作 ”。香港為支持《貨櫃安全倡 

議》而進行的計劃被形容為 “ 世界上最有效和最具效率 

的計劃之一 , 並成為其他地區效法的榜樣 ”。在每兩年 

一次的反恐工作報告中 , 反恐檢控政策協調員高級政府 

律師陳鳳珊說 , 香港致力統籌國際打擊恐怖分子籌資活 

動的工作 , 而 “ 檢控人員和執法人員必須保持警覺和作 

好準備 , 這點十分重要 ”。 

In June, the Hong Kong Policy Act Report, released by 

the US Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, advised 

Congress that ‘Hong Kong strongly supports the global 

campaign against terrorism’. Hong Kong’s programme in 

support of the Container Security Initiative was described 

as being ‘among the most effective and efficient in the 

world and has become a model for other parts to emulate’. 

In her biennial Anti-Terrorism Report, Ms Denise Chan, 

SGC, Policy Co-ordinator on Anti-Terrorism, said that Hong 

Kong had worked hard to co-ordinate global efforts to curb 

terrorist financing, and it was ‘important for prosecutors 

and law enforcers to be vigilant and prepared’. 

10 月 , 檢控政策協調員參加了預防複雜金融罪案研討 

會。該研討會研究恐怖分子籌資活動的性質和規模。

控專員邵家勳向有關組織的國際評估人員作出簡介。年 

內 , 本科致力保持國際間的聯繫 , 這對發展反恐策略起 

重要作用。 

雖然香港是一個安全的社會 , 檢控人員仍竭力對付那 

些與恐怖活動有任何聯繫的人。一名髮型師在互聯網 

討論區以 “ 真主恐怖分子 ” 之名留言 , 聲稱計劃自製 

炸彈 “ 進行自殺式炸彈襲擊以炸毀美國領事館和廸士 

尼 ”。他在 6 月被判處罰款和社會服務令 ( 觀塘裁判法院 

刑事案件 2007 年第 855 號 )。7 月 , 一名曾自稱 “ 香港拉 

登 ” 的理髮師因刑事恐嚇一間報社 , 被判處監禁 9 個月 

( 東區裁判法院刑事案件 2007 年第 867 號 )。 

In October, the Policy Co-ordinator participated in the 

Advanced Financial Crime Prevention Symposium, which 

examined the nature and scale of terrorist financing. In 

November, Ms Chan and Mr Gavin Shiu, SADPP, briefed 

the international assessors of the Financial Action Task 

Force/Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering, when 

they conducted a mutual evaluation of Hong Kong and 

examined its laws to counter terrorist finance. Throughout 

the year, international liaison was treated as central to the 

development of anti-terrorism strategies. 

Although Hong Kong is a secure society, prosecutors 

vigorously pursued those who associated themselves in 

any way with terrorist activity. In June, a hairdresser who 

posted a message in an Internet forum under the name 

‘Hezbollah terrorist’, saying he planned to make his own 

bombs to ‘blast the consulate of the United States and 

Disneyland in a suicide bombing’, was fined and ordered 

to undergo community service (KTCC 855 of 2007). In 

July, a barber who once proclaimed himself the ‘Hong 

Kong Bin Laden’, received 9 months’ imprisonment for 

criminally intimidating a newspaper (ESCC 867 of 2007).

Mr Peter Chapman, SADPP, Policy Coordinator 

on Organized and Serious Crime: 

advising the OCTB upon its investigations 

and undercover operations. 

In 2007, Mr Peter Chapman, SADPP, was appointed as 

Policy Co-ordinator on Triad and Organized Crime. He 

headed Section 5, the five specialist prosecutors who 

advised the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau upon 

its investigations and undercover operations. Section 5 

applied the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance 

(OSCO), which provides for the investigation of organized 

crime, for deterrent sentences, and for the confiscation of 

criminal assets. The Societies Ordinance was deployed in 

the prosecution of triad societies. 

Throughout 2007, the Division developed its capacity 

to deal with organized and transnational crime, and 

liaised with others at the international level. Dr Alain 

Sham, SADPP, the former Policy Co-ordinator on 

Triad and Organized Crime, was appointed Visiting 

Fellow, Terrorism and Organized Crime Research 

Institute, China University of Political Science and 

Law, Beijing. After the DPP was elected as a member 

of the Executive Committee of the International 

Association of Prosecutors, he said that he looked 

forward to ‘working closely with senior prosecutors 

at the highest levels to promote global anti-crime 

strategies’. 

Organized criminal groups are involved in vice, 

extortion, loan sharking, blackmail, gambling and 

money laundering. Much crime has triad overtones, 

and resort to violence is not uncommon. Section 5 

combated such activities by prosecuting syndicated 

criminal activity and reducing profit opportunities. 

When convictions were secured, enhanced sentences 

were sought in appropriate cases and applications made 

for the seizure of the proceeds of organized crime. When 

Mr Kevin Zervos, SC, DDPP(Ag), spoke in November 

at the APEC Anti-Corruption Conference, in Lima, he 

called for a coherent world strategy to take the profit out 

of organized crime, and said that ‘efforts by states acting 

alone to strike at the proceeds of crime will not succeed if 

other places do not take complementary action’. 

As trial specialists, Section 5 conducted a series of 

major prosecutions throughout 2007. Three siblings 

prosecuted by the Policy Co-ordinator for conspiring to 

cheat the judiciary by tendering for a $61 million contract

乘客。該男子被裁定襲擊致造成實際身體傷害及非法管 

有槍械罪名成立 , 判處監禁 2 年 ( 區院刑事案件 2007 年第 

195 號 )。一名被形容為香港頭號通緝犯的男子 , 因管有

3 月 , 高級政府律師覃民輝及政府律師盧淑玲檢控 4 人 , 

其中 3 名被告人被裁定謀殺罪名成立 , 第 4 名被告人則被 

裁定誤殺罪名成立。根據控方案情 ,7 年前一名報販與他 

人在生意上發生爭執 , 後遭被告人用刀砍死。死者是報

遭報紙發行商恐嚇。法官認為被告人雖非親自策劃是次 

襲擊 , 但曾 “ 參與襲擊一名女子 , 引致她死亡 ”。案中 

3 名被告人被判處終身監禁 , 第 4 名被告人則被判處監禁

to supply court audio recording and transcript services 

were convicted of conspiracy to defraud and imprisoned 

for 3 years (DCCC 801 of 2006). A man prosecuted by 

Miss Peggy Lo, GC, for attacking two Citybus passengers 

with a stun gun was convicted of assault occasioning 

actual bodily harm and unlawful possession of arms, and 

imprisoned for 2 years (DCCC 195 of 2007). When the 

man once described as Hong Kong’s most wanted criminal 

challenged the sentences of 24 years’ imprisonment 

imposed upon him for possessing firearms and explosives 

and resisting arrest with a firearm, the Court of Appeal 

agreed with Dr Sham that the sentences were appropriate 

and dismissed his appeal (CACC 73 of 2005). 

In March, three accused prosecuted by Mr Simon Tam, 

SGC, and Miss Peggy Lo, GC, were convicted of murder, 

while a fourth was convicted of manslaughter. The 

prosecution case was that they hacked a newspaper 

vendor to death seven years previously after a business 

dispute. The victim, who was the treasurer of a union 

of vendors, had previously received threats from a 

newspaper distributor over her refusal to pay for the 

papers she could not sell. The judge concluded that the 

accused had not themselves plotted the attack, but had 

‘participated in a fatal attack on a woman, resulting in 

her death’. Whereas three accused were sentenced to 

life terms, the fourth received 12 years’ imprisonment 

(HCCC 89 of 2006). 

2007 年 , 本港三合會及有組織罪案的整體情況改變不 

大。與三合會有關的案件共有 2,259 宗 , 約佔向警方舉報 

的 80,796 宗罪案的百分之 2.79。2006 年 , 與三合會有關 

的案件則有 2,396 宗 , 約佔向警方舉報的 81,125 宗罪案的 

百分之 2.95。2007 年 , 因三合會活動罪行而被檢控的共 

有 853 人 ,2006 年則有 715 人。2007 年 , 根據《有組織 

及嚴重罪行條例》的條文而要求對犯案者加重刑罰的個 

案共有 37 宗 , 而 2006 年及 2005 年則分別有 34 宗及 19 宗。 

The overall triad and organized crime situation was stable 

in 2007. There were 2,259 triad-related cases, which 

accounted for about 2.79% of the 80,796 crimes reported 

to the police. In 2006, the corresponding figures were 

2,396 triad-related crimes, which accounted for about 

2.95% of the 81,125 crimes reported to the police. In 2007, 

853 persons were prosecuted for triad society offences, 

compared to 715 in 2006. In 37 cases in 2007, enhanced 

sentences were sought under the OSCO, as compared to 

34 in 2006 and 19 in 2005.

案件籌備 

TRIAL PREPARATION 

刑事檢控科承諾妥善籌備提交法院審訊的案件。只有在 

證據齊備 , 所有材料已仔細整理後 , 案件才會交付法庭 

審理。如果案件籌備欠佳 , 檢控工作可能功虧一簣。要 

有效處理刑事案件 , 檢控人員必須準確評估案件所爭議 

的各項事情。2007 年 , 本科第 1、2 和 3 組共有 36 名檢控 

人員。他們負責籌備案件提交法院審訊 , 並確保有充分 

的證據才提出檢控。 

The Prosecutions Division is committed to the proper 

preparation of cases for trial. Cases should only proceed 

to court if there is sufficient evidence, and after all the 

material has been thoroughly marshalled. A prosecution 

may fail if the case is inadequately grounded, and the 

effective conduct of criminal cases is dependent upon an 

accurate assessment of the issues. In 2007, the thirtysix 

prosecutors of Sections 1, 2 and 3 prepared cases 

for trial, and ensured that prosecutions which proceeded 

were soundly based. 

In its Strategic Development Programme 2007-2012, the 

Division recommends far closer co-operation between 

those who prepare cases for trial and those assigned to 

prosecute. In August, detailed guidance was provided to 

facilitate such communication, and Section Heads were 

encouraged to identify cases which would benefit from a 

pre-trial conference, or from early liaison. In particular, 

pre-trial conferences were recommended : 

高級助理刑事檢控專員譚耀豪及高級助理刑事檢控專員單偉琛 ( 左中及 

左 ) 於 2007 年 11 月 30 日向澳門特區中級法院院長賴健雄先生及訪問團作 

出簡介 .. 高水平的案件籌備工作。 

Mr William Tam, SADPP, and Mr Eddie Sean, SADPP, (far left and left) 

brief Mr Lai Kin-hong, President, Court of Appeal, Macao SAR, and 

delegation, on 30 November 2007 : high standards of case preparation. 

刑事檢控科在《2007 至 2012 年度策略性發展計劃》中 , 

建議負責案件籌備的人員和獲派出庭檢控的人員加緊合 

作。8 月 , 本科發出詳細指引 , 以促進上述人員之間的溝 

通 , 並鼓勵各組主管確定適宜進行預審會議或及早聯絡的 

案件。具體來說 , 本科建議在以下情況進行預審會議 : 

• where the evidence is circumstantial 

• where the role of the accused in a joint enterprise is 

peripheral 

• where a multi-handed conspiracy is charged 

• where a participating informer is involved 

• where the case involves a vulnerable witness 

64 

• 掌握的證據屬環境證據 

• 在伙同犯案的人當中 , 被告人只擔當次要的角色 

• 檢控涉及多方串謀的案件 

• 線人有分參與案件 

• 案件涉及易受傷害證人 

• 案件涉及殺人罪行 

• 案件性質特別敏感。 

• where the offence involves homicide 

• where the case is of a particular sensitivity. 

Headed by Mr Eddie Sean, SADPP, the nine prosecutors 

of Section 1 advised upon cases to be tried in the Court 

of First Instance. After a prosecution was approved, 

committal papers were prepared, indictments were filed, 

unused material was identified, pre-trial hearings were 

attended and defence proposals for the disposal of cases 

were considered. Case analyses were also prepared for 

trial counsel. In 2007, Section 1 provided 778 advices, 

and filed 190 indictments.

and advised upon the prosecution of vice activity. Having 

weighed the evidence and formulated charges, the progress 

of summary trials was reviewed. Negotiated pleas were 

examined, and defence requests to bind persons over as 

an alternative to prosecution were assessed. In 2007, 

Section 3 provided 5,338 advices to the law enforcement 

agencies. 

In 2007, various initiatives to improve the quality of justice 

at the pre-trial stage were pursued by the advisory counsel. 

Supervisory techniques were strengthened, and measures 

implemented to monitor progress on outstanding files. 

The express advisory system was expanded to facilitate 

the provision of urgent advice in straightforward cases to 

be heard at the summary level. The level of compliance 

with the performance pledge requiring the timely provision 

of advice was reviewed. Enhanced pre-trial contact 

between prosecutors and police inspectors before district 

court plea days was promoted. Arrangements to provide 

urgent advice at any time in relation to airport cases were 

updated. New methods for dealing with dangerous driving 

cases were adopted. 

The Division’s standards of case preparation contributed 

in 2007 to an overall conviction rate of 78.3%. That 

compared to an overall conviction rate of 78.7% in 2006, 

and of 75.3% in 2005. Sentence enhancement was sought 

in 37 cases on the basis of prevalence of offence or the 

involvement in the offence of organized crime. In 2007,

在 2007 年 , 刑事檢控科積極促進罪行受害者、證人及其 

親屬的權益。在刑事訴訟程序中 , 檢控人員根據最佳的 

實務指引行事 , 並致力使案件能盡快進行聆訊 , 減低對

由高級助理刑事檢控專員張維新領導 

In 2007, the Prosecutions Division was active in promoting 

the interests of victims of crime and witnesses, as well 

as their relatives. Best practice was applied throughout 

the course of criminal proceedings, and every effort 

was made to expedite trials and minimise trauma for 

victims. The United Nations Guidelines on the Role of 

Prosecutors affirm the responsibility of the prosecutor to 

consider the views and concerns of the victim of crime, 

and the Division forged closer relationships with victim 

groups and concerned citizens. Prosecutors appreciated 

that to succeed the criminal justice system must enjoy 

the confidence of the public.

Headed by Mr Patrick Cheung, SADPP, 

the Vulnerable Witness Team (VWT) of 

23 prosecutors had primary responsibility 

for processing vulnerable witness cases. 

Its function was to protect the interests 

of victims and witnesses from the start of 

criminal proceedings to their conclusion, 

and to work within a multi-disciplinary 

context. The VWT applied The Statement 

on the Treatment of Victims and Witnesses, 

which the Division issued to prosecutors in 

2004, to ensure that victims and witnesses 

received the best possible deal at court 

and pre-court. After a commentator in March questioned 

the efficacy of procedures to expedite vulnerable witness 

trials, Mr Cheung explained that the VWT was committed 

‘to reducing delays in vulnerable witness cases, and to 

ensuring that the interests of the most vulnerable are 

prioritized and protected at each stage of the criminal 

justice process’.

of animal cruelty cases and the sentencing of offenders at 

court. In September, Mrs Priscilla Lui, Director, Against 

Child Abuse, shared with international prosecutors the 

perspectives of her agency on the treatment of child 

victims by the criminal justice system as a whole. 

The VWT liaised closely throughout the year with outside 

bodies on areas of concern, and sought to promote 

better arrangements in the treatment of vulnerable 

witnesses. In February, Miss Agnes Chan, SGC, Joint 

Policy Co-ordinator on Child Abuse, Domestic Violence 

and Vulnerable Witnesses, participated in the Sharing 

Session on Intervention and Prevention of Child Abuse. 

Miss Chan also briefed Ms Rebecca Chee of the Child 

Protection and Welfare Branch, Ministry of Community 

Development, Singapore, on the prosecution of domestic 

violence cases. When the Education and Manpower 

Bureau convened a seminar for teachers on the impact 

of domestic violence on students, Miss Chan explained 

the scope of criminal sanctions. In September, the VWT’s 

Ms Polly Wan, SGC, lectured social workers on the rights of 

victims. Mr John Reading, SC, DDPP, Policy Co-ordinator 

on Victims Rights, contributed to the preparation of The 

Victims of Crime Charter (2007). 

Hong Kong has advanced laws in place to facilitate the 

provision of testimony by the most vulnerable in society. 

In 2007, the VWT applied the legislation which enables the 

primary evidence of victims to be video recorded in cases 

of sexual and physical abuse and cruelty. Applications 

for the use of CCTV at court were sought in cases 

which involved children, the mentally handicapped and 

witnesses in fear. When in May he addressed the Joint 

Seminar of the International Criminal Bar Council with 

the Asia/Pacific Bars, in Tokyo, Mr John Reading, SC, 

DDPP, said ‘we need the victims’ help if a prosecution is 

to go forward, and if such experiences are less traumatic 

it may encourage other victims and witnesses to come 

forward to report crime’.
