ICAC arrests 20 as insurance agent suspected of using false documents to help early MPF withdrawals
廉署拘20人 保險代理涉用虛假證明助提早申領強積金
An online media outlet reported today (13th) that several Hong Kong residents who had moved to the UK and withdrawn their MPF through Sun Life Financial were taken into rooms for questioning by people claiming to be ICAC officers when they entered Hong Kong during the summer. They were detained for 48 hours, had their travel documents confiscated and were required to report regularly. The ICAC said this evening that it had broken up a corruption syndicate and arrested 20 people to date, including an insurance agent acting as an MPF intermediary and more than 10 MPF scheme members. The syndicate was suspected of using corrupt and fraudulent means to help scheme members apply for early withdrawal of MPF using false supporting documents and statutory declarations.
