一宗偽造文件的騙案

 一宗偽造文件的騙案

近日，華美銀行前第一副總裁王爭被控以偽造單據騙取港幣$16,000元膳費，違反了香港法例第201章 《防止賄賂條例》第9(3)條。

根據《防止賄賂條例》，公司的員工意圖使用任何單據或文件欺騙公司即屬犯法。只要事件與公司存在利害關係，而當事人使用的文件有虛假、錯誤的陳述，控方又能夠證明當事人有意圖的話，當事人便觸犯了法例。

在上述案件中，被告被質疑在8張來自五間餐廳的帳單上手寫加上數字將百元的銀碼變成千元。不過被告否認控罪，指公司處理帳單時十分混亂，不能確定該偽造帳單是被告親手遞交的。她是否會被定罪視乎雙方提交的證據和庭上的證供。如果她被入罪的話，可被罰款港幣$500,000和監禁七年。歡迎致電或WhatsApp 69776708 林先生查詢報價及預約。

A case of forging documents

Recently, the ex-vice president of East West Bank Wang Zheng was charged for making false claim of meal expenses totaling over HK$16,000 contrary to s.9(3) of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap.201)(POBO).

According to POBO, it is a crime for an agent of a company to deceive his principal with an intention to use any false receipt or account. The offence requires the principle to be interested in respect of the document and there is a false document with the offender having an intention to mislead the principal.

In the above case, the defendant was entitled to apply for reimbursement of meal expenses incurred in meetings with clients. However, the authorities discovered that the defendant forged eight receipts from five restaurants by adding a digit in the sum. The defendant however, denies the charge by asserting that the claiming of expenses was conducted in a haphazard manner that one cannot ascertain whether the receipts were handed by the defendant herself. Whether she will be convicted depends on the evidence and examination in future hearings. If she is convicted, she shall be liable to a fine of HK$500,000 and imprisonment of 7 years.
