A senior police inspector yesterday sued the ICAC chief and two of his investigators for $14,921 in damages.
Inspector Sin Chat-ching said the trio had unnecessarily seized and held for 14 months property belonging to him.
The possessions were the title deed of a flat in Dongguan, China, a Rolex watch and a jade pendant, the Small Claims Tribunal heard.
Inspector Sin, 40, claimed Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner Michael Leung Man-kin and investigators Chan Hon-wo and Pang Wai-on were liable for $14,000 in lost rent, $920 for watch repairs and $1 nominal damages for the pendant.
The officer said the property was detained from November 15, 1994 to January 22, this year.
The court was told the Attorney-General would be added as a fourth defendant at the next hearing.
