▲ Carrie Lam (Hong Kong media data map)Xu Zhifeng, a former member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Democratic Party, ran away and later claimed that his bank accounts with his family were frozen and in turn accused the bank and the police of “abusing power.” Hong Kong police responded on the 7th that the bank accounts of Xu Zhifeng and his family were frozen because the relevant funds involved money laundering or criminal proceeds. In this regard, the executive director of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, said on the 8th that before deciding to believe some people’s comments, citizens should think about someone’s previous convictions. There is a lot of false and misinformation on social media sites. I hope the public is cautious.
According to Hong Kong’s “Sing Tao Daily” report, Carrie Lam questioned the credibility of a person who defrauded the public into leaving Hong Kong, her comments and accusations against the banking and financial system. He stressed that Hong Kong’s financial system is very stable. The police will carry out a thorough investigation into the incident and leave it to the Hong Kong Justice Department to make an independent decision. If the prosecution goes to court, there will be public trials.
Carrie Lam said that not everyone under the banner of “democracy” cannot enforce the law. Compared to people who generally smear social media sites and find it difficult to gain credibility, the SAR government must behave in a disciplined and objective manner. The research process should not reveal too much the content of the research. I think banks and the government are the same.
According to previous Hong Kong media reports, Xu Zhifeng posted on Facebook on the afternoon of the 6th, stating that his and his family’s accounts were frozen. When interviewed by the media, he also claimed that the accounts involved HSBC, Hang Seng and Bank of China, including Millions of deposits. However, four hours later, Xu’s HSBC account, which he changed his family name to, was suddenly unlocked, his savings were immediately transferred, and his account was partially unlocked. Xu Zhifeng also said on the afternoon of the 7th that his accounts with his family were frozen.
In this regard, Li Guihua, Senior Superintendent of the National Security Division of the Hong Kong Police, stated that the bank accounts of Xu Zhifeng and his family were frozen because the corresponding funds involved money laundering or criminal proceeds, and it was suspected that the relevant persons had misappropriated HK $ 850,000 in crowdfunding funds. The freeze is not directed at Xu’s family members, but the funds flowed into the corresponding account and the account was suspected of handling illegal proceeds.
Senior lawyer Tang Jiahua, a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council, pointed out while attending a radio show on the 7th that most of the police requests to freeze accounts were related to suspicions of money laundering. When the police complete the investigation and show that they have nothing to do with the relevant person, they will also apply to the court for the unfreezing. He also said that crowdfunding itself is not illegal, but if someone transfers money to other places after crowdfunding, questions will arise as to whether the money will be used privately. He emphasized that as long as the law is followed, everything can be handled through normal procedures.
