Albert Yeung and Juno Mak are among 22 arrested in a sweeping investigation into the music awards system
The entertainment industry was yesterday rocked by the arrest of mogul Albert Yeung Sau-shing and singer Juno Mak Chun-lung as part of a sweeping ICAC investigation into an alleged bribes-for-awards scam.
It is understood that senior executives of TVB and other entertainment companies were also among the 22 arrested. All were still being questioned last night.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption said last night that the operation had been mounted in relation to corruption allegations over preferential treatment given to a number of singers.
This included the promotion of these singers and their hits on a music billboard, it said.
But the ICAC did not release the names of any of those arrested.
