The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Tuesday revealed the charges against Leung Ka-man, 52, as well as his girlfriend and younger brother.

According to the commission, Leung faces four charges: conspiracy for a public servant to accept an advantage, misconduct in public office, doing an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice and conspiracy to commit such an act.

His girlfriend, Lau Wai-yin, 42, faces one count of conspiracy for a public servant to accept an advantage.

Lau and Leung’s younger brother, Leung Ka-hing, 50, jointly face a charge of conspiracy to do an act tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice.

The trio were released on bail and are due to appear at West Kowloon Court on Thursday for mention.

According to the commission, the prosecution will later apply to transfer the case to the District Court for pleas.
