The Zhitong Finance App learned that the Hong Kong Independent Commission against Corruption's corruption investigation revealed that bank employees assisted illegal groups in issuing false banking documents, falsely claiming that several companies' bank accounts held more than HK$37 billion in assets, defrauding many Japanese investors into investing in African investment projects such companies claimed to participate in. The investment amount was over 400 million yen (about HK$28.4 million at the time of the incident). The five defendants pleaded guilty earlier or were convicted after trial. Two had earlier been jailed for three years, while the remaining three were jailed for up to 54 months in the District Court on November 9. The Hong Kong ICAC also wanted three other persons involved in the case.
