A former senior executive of an architectural company, wanted by the ICAC in a $4 million fraud case, was extradited to Hong Kong from Australia yesterday.
Allan Chan Yiu-ming, 58, former managing architect of Hong Kong company P2H Design Associates, was arrested in Sydney by Australian Federal Police in April 1999.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption alleged that between December 1993 and February 1994, Chan falsified two invoices, purportedly issued by P2H Design, to cash a cheque for $3 million and two demand drafts of US$112,000 (HK$873,600) from two clients, Great Wall Strategic Holdings (BVI) and Garden Field Development Group.
Chan will be charged with five offences; including false accounting, deception, forgery and procuring a false entry in a bank record, when he appears at Eastern Court today.
He left Hong Kong in February 1994 before the ICAC started its investigation into a corruption complaint. An arrest warrant was issued in April 1997.
