公僕水患｜被指涉呃物流署 呂子聰是誰？ 夫婦去年被指涉「詐騙」遭索償逾億
The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau yesterday (17th) instructed the Logistics Department to “assume primary responsibility”, including reviewing the supplier and its person in charge, as well as their performance under other government contracts. Xin Ding Xin, which was alleged to be involved in infringement, has Lui Tsz-chung as its majority shareholder and sole director, with Chan Pik-lam as another shareholder. Police announced today that they had arrested a married couple yesterday on suspicion of fraud; the pair are the supplier’s director and shareholder.
A review of records shows that Lui Tsz-chung, Chan Pik-lam and companies under their control have been involved in various legal proceedings in mainland China and Hong Kong. Last year, the couple and their company were accused by a Japanese-funded company of using false documents to purchase and sell “caustic soda”, and were sued for repayment of more than HK$115 million. A company of Lui Tsz-chung’s in mainland China was also placed on a list of dishonest parties in 2022 over unpaid wages.
財經事務及庫務局昨（17日）責成物流署「承擔主體責任」，包括檢視該供應商及其負責人，與政府其他合約表現等等。被指涉嫌侵權的鑫鼎鑫，由呂子聰任大股東兼唯一董事、陳碧琳為另一股東。警方今公布昨以欺詐罪拘一對夫婦，為供應商的董事及股東。
翻查資料，呂子聰、陳碧琳及其旗下公司，曾在中、港兩地捲入不同訴訟案件，夫婦二人及公司去年被日資公司指控使用虛假文件購買和銷售「哥士的」，被入稟要求償還逾 1.15 億港元；呂子聰於內地的公司，在 2022 年亦因拖欠工資被納入失信名單。

黎智英案｜控方結案：各被告串謀勾結外國 毋須證《國安法》後有新協議 提出「請求」已屬犯罪
Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai is charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” and other offences. Closing submissions in the case, originally scheduled to begin last week, were postponed because of a black rainstorm and Lai’s heart palpitations. They began on Monday (18th) on the 148th day of the trial at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, which is temporarily serving as the High Court. Lai appeared wearing an electrocardiogram monitor, while a member of the public was warned after waving to him before the hearing.
The prosecution said in its closing submissions that the defendants had continued colluding with foreign countries after the National Security Law took effect, amounting to a conspiracy to commit an offence. It said the prosecution did not need to prove that the defendants had full knowledge of the agreement’s contents, only that the parties had acted in accordance with the agreement. In response to the defence’s dispute over the wording of the collusion offence, the prosecution said making a “request” constituted an offence, and it was not necessary to prove that the request had been received by the other party. It also said that the targets of sanctions were not limited to countries and included officials.
The defence cited remarks by Zhang Xiaoming, former director of the Liaison Office, as evidence that collusion required a secret agreement. The prosecution cited the same remarks in court to argue that it was not necessary to prove the existence of an agreement. Judge Lee Wan-tang questioned whether Zhang, who was not a drafter of the National Security Law, could have his comments used to interpret its provisions. The trial will continue on Tuesday (19th).
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英被控「串謀勾結外國勢力」等罪，案件原定上周開始結案陳詞，惟因黑雨及黎出現心悸，押後至周一（18 日）在西九龍裁判法院（暫代高等法院）展開第 148 日審訊。黎智英配戴心電圖監測儀應訊，開庭前有旁聽人士向黎揮手遭警告。
控方結案陳詞指，案中被告在《國安法》後持續勾結外國，屬串謀犯案，而控方毋須證被告全盤知道協議內容，只須證明各方依循協議行事。至於辯方爭議勾結罪的字眼，控方指提出「請求」已構成犯罪，毋須證明獲對方接收，而「制裁」對象不限於國家，亦包括官員。
就辯方引前中聯辦主任張曉明發言，指可證「勾結」須有秘密協議。控方庭上引用同一發言，反指「勾結」毋須證明協議存在。法官李運騰關注，張並非《國安法》起草者，質疑其說法能否用作詮釋條文。案件周二（19 日）續審。

The case was originally scheduled to begin closing submissions last week, but was adjourned until Monday (18th) because of the Black Rainstorm Warning and Lai experiencing palpitations.

反恐第二案｜官開始引導 指不能因2019年事件立場作判斷 警員證供
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “九十二籤” subsequently claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-Terrorism Ordinance, while the remaining defendant was charged with “attempting to manufacture explosives”. All eight pleaded not guilty, and the trial at the High Court entered its 151st day on Friday (the 15th).
Justice Chan Chung-hang began directing the jury, saying that although jurors might have personal views or emotional reactions concerning the social events of 2019, they must objectively assess the evidence when reaching factual findings. They should also not consider the contents of any media reports, particularly reports involving observations or interpretations of the evidence in the case.
The judge said some defendants disputed whether police officers could effectively identify their identities or voices. Jurors must carefully consider the officers’ evidence and must not regard it as more reliable or “look more favourably upon it” simply because of the officers’ identities. They must also analyse the evidence independently, as “two or more [witnesses] may make the same mistake”. The case will continue next Monday.
2020 年初，明愛醫院、羅湖港鐵車廂被發現有爆炸品，Telegram 頻道「九十二籤」事後承認責任。7 人被控《反恐條例》罪名，餘下 1 人被控以「企圖製造炸藥」罪。8 人不認罪，周五（15 日）於高院踏入第 151 天審訊。
法官陳仲衡開始引導陪審團，指雖然陪審員會對 2019 年發生的社會事件有個人立場或情緒反應，惟作出事實裁斷時必須客觀評估證據，亦不應考慮任何媒體報道的內容，尤其涉及對案中證據的觀察或演繹的報道。
官指出，部分被告爭議警員不能有效辨認其身分、聲音，陪審員要慎重考慮警員的證供，不可以因警員身分，而認為其證供比較可靠或「看高一線」，亦需獨立分析，因有機會「兩位（證人）或以上同樣會出錯」。案件下周一續。

黎智英案｜辯方指黎心悸 申毋須出席結案陳詞 官押至8.18讓黎戴心電圖監測儀應訊
Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai is charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” and other offences. The case has been on trial for more than a year and a half since proceedings began at the end of 2023. The prosecution and defence previously completed their evidence. After a recess of about five months, the 147th day of the trial was originally scheduled to begin on Thursday (the 14th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, which is temporarily serving as the High Court, with both sides making their closing submissions. The hearing was postponed until Friday because of the black rainstorm. More than 50 people queued outside the court in the morning. One member of the public attending the hearing said Lai had been remanded for more than four years, expressed concern about his health and hoped to enter the courtroom to show support.
The defence applied for Lai not to attend during the closing submissions and disclosed that he had experienced palpitations, saying that “on several occasions he felt he was about to break down”. The judge said the court was concerned about Lai’s physical condition, but defendants are generally required to attend their trials. The court could make arrangements if Lai was willing to wear an ambulatory electrocardiogram monitor in accordance with his doctor’s instructions. The prosecution said the relevant medical device could only be arranged the following week. The judge ultimately adjourned the hearing until Monday (the 18th).
壹傳媒創辦人黎智英被控「串謀勾結外國勢力」等罪，案件自 2023 年底開審已逾一年半。控、辯雙方早前完成舉證，休庭約 5 個月後，原定周四 （14 日）在西九龍裁判法院（暫代高等法院）展開第 147 日審訊，由控、辯雙方結案陳詞，惟因黑雨延至周五。早上有逾 50 人在法院外排隊，有旁聽人士稱黎已還押逾 4 年，擔心其健康，盼入庭支持。
辯方申請黎於結案陳詞期間毋須出庭，並透露黎出現心悸，「有幾次他覺得自己快要崩潰了」。法官指，關注黎的身體狀況，但被告一般須在審訊時出庭，若黎願按醫生指示配戴「動態心電圖」，法庭可以安排。控方則指，下周才可安排相關醫療儀器。法官最終押至下周一（18 日）續審。

反恐第二案｜第七被告方：家中現金不足證曾聯絡金主 辯方完成結案 官周五起引導
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in a Lo Wu MTR carriage. The Telegram channel “92 Lots” subsequently claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-terrorism Ordinance, while the remaining person was charged with “attempting to manufacture explosives”. All eight pleaded not guilty, and the trial at the High Court entered its 150th day on Wednesday (13th).
Barrister Douglas King Hin Kwok, representing the seventh defendant Ho Pui-yan, continued his closing submissions. He said that when the Caritas Medical Centre explosion occurred, the first defendant Ho Cheuk Wai wrote on Telegram that “the old stuff seems unable to explode”, while Ho Pui-yan’s response showed that she was unaware of the operation and had not participated in it. Kwok also said that although police found HK$160,000 in cash at Ho Pui-yan’s home, this was insufficient to prove that she was responsible for contacting funders or similar matters.
Barrister Mak Kin-ming, representing the eighth defendant Chow Ho-man, said Chow shared a room with his brother and that the prosecution had no evidence showing that the chemicals and 3D printer found in the room belonged to him. The defence completed 10 days of closing submissions. The case will continue on Friday, when the judge will begin directing the jury.
2020 年初，明愛醫院、羅湖港鐵車廂被發現有爆炸品，Telegram 頻道「九十二籤」事後承認責任。7 人被控《反恐條例》罪名，餘下 1 人被控以「企圖製造炸藥」罪。8 人不認罪，周三（13 日）於高院踏入第 150 天審訊。
代表第七被告何培欣的大律師郭憬憲繼續結案陳詞，指首被告何卓為在明愛醫院爆炸案發時，在 TG 稱「舊嘢好似爆唔到」，而何培欣的回應反映她對行動不知情，而且沒參與。郭又指，雖然警方在何培欣家中搜出 16 萬元現金，但不足以證明她負責聯絡金主等。
第八被告周皓文的代表大狀麥健明指，周與其兄共用房間，控方無任何證據顯示在房間搜出的化學品、3D 打印機均屬於他。辯方完成共 10 天的結案陳詞，案件周五續，法官將開始引導陪審團。

香港議會案｜姜嘉偉被指涉顛覆國家政權罪 父被國安警帶走助查
The Police Force’s National Security Department last month wanted 19 people allegedly involved in organising the “Hong Kong Parliament”, including Keung Ka Wai, founder of the Hong Kong Democratic Nation-Building Alliance. It is understood that national security police took Keung Ka Wai’s biological father to Tin Shui Wai Police Station today to assist in an investigation. The man left the police station at noon. In addition, Keung Ka Wai’s father, Keung Wing-tai, published a statement in a newspaper last Thursday (the 7th), saying that he, his wife, Tsoi Yin-yu, and their son, Keung Ka-chun, “hereby declare that we have severed our family relationship with our son Keung Ka Wai. From now on, any disputes or entanglements involving Keung Ka Wai, whether Chinese or foreign, have nothing to do with us, effective immediately.”
警務處國家安全處上月底通緝被指籌組「香港議員」19 人，包括香港民主建國聯盟創始人姜嘉偉。據了解，國安警今日帶走姜嘉偉生父到天水圍警署協助調查，該名男士中午離開警署。另外，姜嘉偉父親姜永泰上周四（7日）登報，稱與太太蔡嬿茹及兒子姜嘉俊，「現聲明與兒子姜嘉偉脫離親人關係，此後姜嘉偉在外一切華洋轇轕均與我們無關，即時生效」。

反恐第二案｜第七被告方：受不住首被告「放負」才勉強覆做文宣 官問「Kam」意思
In early 2020, explosives were found at Caritas Medical Centre and in an MTR train carriage at Lo Wu. The Telegram channel “Ninety-Two Lots” subsequently claimed responsibility. Seven people were charged with offences under the Anti-terrorism Ordinance, while one other person was charged with attempting to manufacture explosives. All eight pleaded not guilty, and the trial entered its 149th day at the High Court on Tuesday (12th). The representative barrister for seventh defendant Ho Pui-yan, Douglas King Hin Kwok, began closing submissions.
Kwok told the jury that, at the time of the incidents, Ho Pui-yan was in an ambiguous relationship with first defendant Ho Cheuk Wai. She treated the other party’s messages as follows: “Normally I’d flirt a little; if you Kam me, I’d be perfunctory.” Kwok said she was affected by the other party’s negative emotions and only reluctantly replied that she would serve in the “publicity department”. When the judge asked what “Kam” meant, laughter broke out in court. Kwok replied: “Doing awkward things and enjoying yourself.”
Separately, the representative barrister for fifth defendant Yeung Yee-sze questioned the reliability of police officers’ identification of Yeung. The representative barrister for sixth defendant Cheung Cheuk-ki said Cheung became involved in the case because she wanted to accompany her boyfriend during their “honeymoon period”, but being aware of something did not mean she had the intention to participate.
2020 年初，明愛醫院、羅湖港鐵車廂被發現有爆炸品，Telegram 頻道「九十二籤」事後承認責任。7 人被控《反恐條例》罪名，餘下 1 人被控以「企圖製造炸藥」罪。8 人不認罪，周二（12 日）於高院踏入第 149 天審訊。第七被告何培欣的代表大狀郭憬憲開始結案陳詞。
郭向陪審員指，案發時何培欣與首被告何卓為「曖昧緊」，她看待對方訊息的態度是「正常就搭下嗲，你 Kam 我就 hea」，而她受對方的負面情緒影響，才勉強回覆說自己會擔任「文宣部」。法官問及「咩叫 Kam？」庭上出現笑聲。郭答「做尷尬嘢就自得其樂」。
另外，第五被告楊怡斯的代表大狀在結案質疑，警員對楊的辨認不可靠。第六被告張琸淇的代表大狀則指，張是因為「熱戀期」要陪伴男友才牽涉入案件，但知情不代表她有意圖參與。

支聯會被指煽動顛覆案｜何俊仁改擬認罪 控辯商討案情撮要 案件11月開始處理
The case in which the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China and its former chair and vice-chair, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho Chun-yan and Chow Hang-tung, are charged with “inciting subversion of state power” was heard at the High Court on Monday (11th) for its second pre-trial review. The defence confirmed that Albert Ho would change his intended plea to guilty and said it had received the prosecution’s first draft of the statement of facts, which it was reviewing. It estimated that there was little likelihood of a Newton hearing (a Legal 101 article) being needed to dispute the facts of the case.
Judge Li Wan-tang said the case would be dealt with at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts in November this year as previously scheduled, with 75 days set aside, spanning Christmas and the Lunar New Year. He also said Chow Hang-tung’s applications would be dealt with first to determine “how the trial will proceed, or whether it will proceed at all”. Records show that Chow had earlier applied to have the indictment quashed, among other applications.
Albert Ho was arrested and remanded in 2021 and was granted bail for about seven months before being remanded again after allegedly breaching the conditions. He has now been in custody for more than 1,200 days. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung have remained in custody throughout and have now been detained for more than 1,400 days.
支聯會及其前正副主席李卓人、何俊仁、鄒幸彤被控「煽動顛覆國家政權」案，周一（11 日）在高院召開第二次審前覆核。辯方確認何俊仁將改為擬認罪，並指已收到控方草擬的案情撮要初稿，辯方正檢視，估計需要召開紐頓聆訊（法律 101 文章）爭議案情的機會不大。
法官李運騰指案件將如早前所定，今年 11 月在西九龍裁判法院處理，預留 75 天，橫跨聖誕及農曆新年，又指會先處理鄒幸彤的申請，決定審訊「會如何進行，或者會唔會進行」。翻查資料，鄒早前提出「撤銷公訴書」等申請。
何俊仁自 2021 年被捕、還押，一度獲准保釋約 7 個月，其後被指違反條件遭重新收押，至今還押逾 1,200 天。李卓人、鄒幸彤則一直還押，至今逾 1,400 天。
