涉隱瞞壹傳媒大樓違契 黎智英判監5年9月 取消管理層資格8年 官批利用傳媒形象作「保護罩」
Next Media founder Jimmy Lai and former administrative director Wong Wai-keung were accused of using the Next Media building in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate to operate a Dico Consultants consultancy company while concealing breaches of the lease terms. The two denied the fraud charges and were earlier convicted. They were sentenced this morning (10th) at the District Court. Judge Chen Guangchi criticised them for abusing government-leased low-rent land to enable the lessee to benefit personally. He also said Lai had abused his media image as a “protective shield” and, even after being convicted, continued to insist that he had done nothing wrong. The two charges together resulted in a sentence of 5 years and 9 months’ imprisonment. Wong was sentenced to 21 months after the judge took into account that he had acted on Lai’s instructions and had received no personal benefit. After the hearing, a spectator said to Lai, “Mr Lai, happy birthday!” Lai’s daughter wept outside the court.

11.18 理大衝突｜羅健熙非法集結罪不成立 律政司上訴 羅被帶到高院、官准保釋
On 18 November 2019, members of the public went to Tsim Sha Tsui to “rescue” protesters inside PolyU, and many people were arrested. Democratic Party chairman Lo Kin-hei was found not guilty of unlawful assembly after trial last Wednesday (30 November). District Court Judge Eddie Yip said Lo had gone to the scene “to raise his profile and accumulate political capital, hoping to create an image of standing on the same side as the protesters”, and that he had brought suspicion upon himself, but ruled that the prosecution evidence was insufficient for a conviction.
The Department of Justice lodged an appeal by way of case stated on Monday (5 December). On Wednesday (7 December), police took Lo to the High Court, where the Department of Justice applied to impose bail conditions. High Court Judge Pang Min-chi approved the application, including cash bail of $5,000, a prohibition on leaving Hong Kong, surrender of his travel documents, and reporting to a police station once a week.

律政司周一（5 日）以案件呈述方式提上訴，警方周三（7 日）將羅帶往高等法院，律政司申請向他施加保釋條件，獲法官潘敏琦批准，包括以 5,000 元現金保釋、期間不准離港、交出旅行證件，以及每周一次向警署報到。

8.5 將軍澳｜24 歲男認警署外暴動囚 32 月 求情指因病完全切除大腸 獲酌情減刑
Judge Yiu Fan-chi said the violence in the case was serious, the police station had been targeted and the incident was large in scale, warranting a deterrent sentence, with a starting point of four and a half years. The defence said the defendant had undergone total colectomy at just two weeks old due to illness, had since needed to use the toilet frequently, and had never slept for more than two hours in his life. Taking the defendant’s physical condition and guilty plea into account, the judge ultimately imposed a sentence of two years and eight months after a discretionary reduction.
法官姚勳智指，本案使用的暴力程度高，並以警署為目標，規模較大，須判處阻嚇性刑罰，應以 4 年半為量刑起點。辯方求情指被告出生僅 2 周已因病完全切除大腸，自此需經常去洗手間，一生未曾試過睡多過 2 小時。法官最終因應被告的身體狀況和認罪，酌情扣減後判囚 2 年 8 個月。

The Vaccine Pass was introduced in February 2022.

The matter was later exposed by another nurse at the vaccination centre.
Seven people were jointly charged with two counts of conspiracy to defraud, while three were allowed to sign their own recognisance to keep the peace. Of the remaining four defendants, the nurse and a housewife had pleaded guilty earlier. The other two defendants, who had pleaded not guilty, were convicted at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Courts on Friday (2nd).
