Corruption's Gentleman's Club The conviction of suspended chief inspector Ho Siu tung marks another instance of a Hong Kong police officer succumbing to corruption, but what it highlights is the systemic failure that allows such malfeasance to thrive.
Ho was accused of taking bribes worth HK$1. 1m from businessman Qu Haipeng in exchange for dropping a case between August 2021 and January 2023.
The prosecution's plea deal spared Ho from further charges, raising questions about the true extent of corruption within the police force.
