IMMUNITY from prosecution will be considered for anyone who talks to the special police task force on triad involvement in the film and entertainment industry.

The task force, headed by Superintendent Philip Choy Kin-cheung, was formed after the execution-style shooting of Andely Chan Yiu-hing in Macau on Sunday.

Chan, 32, was believed to have been killed because of a feud among triads controlling the film and entertainment industry.

Mr Choy said yesterday the task force's first job would be to gather as much information as possible about triad involvement in the industry.

He said people could not be expected to offer information without some form of incentive and immunity from prosecution would be considered.

However, he said indemnity could only be granted by the Attorney-General's office, on the recommendation of police.

Mr Choy said the first stage of the task force's operation would be to speak to as many people as possible.
