Sweet and Spicy: what's the buzz on honey infusions? | SaltWireHONG KONG - Hong Kong’s anti-corruption agency said on Friday 20 people had been arrested suspected of taking bribes to help people apply for early withdrawal of government pension funds with false documents, amid a row over new passports offered by Britain.
Many of these were offered a path to citizenship by Britain through a British National passport scheme. The authority running the pension scheme then said it would not accept the passport as a valid document for the withdrawal of funds. The agent had allegedly accepted bribes of up to tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars per applicant, the ICAC said.
The national security law, which was introduced after months of sometimes violent anti-government, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, criminalises acts of subversion, terrorism, collusion with foreign forces and secession with possible life imprisonment.
