T Judiciary Police (PJ) has recently announced an investigation into an alleged breach of trust case involving a substantial sum of money.
The suspect at the center of the investigation, a 38-year-old man named Zhao, is alleged to have played a key role in the transshipment of electronic parts through Macau, leading to the victim losing about HKD4.76 million.
According to reports, the victim had collaborated with mainland friends to order electronic parts worth around HKD4.76 million from Hong Kong.
Zhao, who had assisted in the transshipment process, received the goods in Macau. However, suspicions arose when Zhao failed to deliver the items to the mainland.
Authorities became involved when the victim spotted Zhao on a street in the Central District on the evening of April 27 and promptly notified the police, who apprehended Zhao for questioning.
However, during the interrogation, Zhao refused to admit to the crime and withheld information about the location of the missing items.
The case has raised suspicions about the authenticity of Zhao’s claims that he was able to transport the goods.
It was discovered Zhao did not represent a company but rather made verbal promises regarding his capabilities.
This has led investigators to broaden their scope and consider the involvement of the victim’s friends, who may also be implicated in the case.
Further inquiries into the shipping process have revealed the goods were received and signed for by Zhao at an industrial building in Macau.
Zhao has remained uncooperative, failing to disclose how he intended to transport the items back to the mainland. He also has not yet revealed the items’ whereabouts. Staff Reporter
