    Ex Home Sec arrested in the US...

    Alleged bribery related to Belt and Road of all things...

    Belt and Road! Belt and Road!

    Ho was Hong Kong Home Affairs secretary from 2002 to 2007, and served for several years on the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Committee Conference.

    In the Justice Department complaint, the two men allegedly offered a US$2 million bribe to the president of Chad “to obtain valuable oil rights,” and a US$500,000 bribe to an account designated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uganda, who had recently completed his term as the President of the UN General Assembly.

    Or what he got out of it certainly paid for a lot of ( expensive) meals.

    A spell in the government hostelry at Stanley would sort that weight problem out.

    He must be on a seafood diet - if he sees food, he eats it.

    Isn't that how they got a bunch of fifa officials? Using the US system for bribery / fraud / whatever?

    One of the reasons HK does well for money launderers is its own USD clearing within HK banks.
