Chapter 31 The Independent Commission Against Corruption
Independent Commission Against Corruption (English: independentcommission
againstcorruption (icac for short) is an independent law enforcement agency in Hong Kong that specializes in combating corruption. It is also known as the "Institute of Independent Commission Against Corruption". This agency is because the corruption problem in Hong Kong's government departments is serious, and the situation in the police force is particularly serious and prominent (mainly
It is the corruption group headed by the Four Detectives), hence the emergence of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The main departments of the Independent Commission Against Corruption include: Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner, Administrative Headquarters, Enforcement Division, Corruption Prevention Division, Community Relations Division. There are also independent advisory committees: Corruption Advisory Committee, Review of Corruption Reports Advisory Committee, Corruption Prevention Advisory Committee, Community
Concerned Citizens' Advisory Committee.
These departments have different functions, and each department cooperates with each other and exchanges information. They are all directly under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Governor and operate independently.
The Enforcement Division is the investigation department of the ICAC, responsible for receiving, reviewing and investigating corruption-related accusations. Its information mainly comes from reports made by citizens to the ICAC. When the Enforcement Division receives the report, it will classify the information and immediately open a case for investigation.
The main task of the Corruption Prevention Department is to review the work practices and procedures of various government departments and public institutions to reduce the possibility of corruption. In addition, the Department also provides corruption prevention advisory services at the request of private organizations.
The last Corruption Prevention Department reviews the work practices and procedures of various government departments and public institutions to reduce the possibility of corruption. In addition, the Department also provides corruption prevention consulting services at the request of private organizations. The "Corruption Prevention Department" mainly
Responsible for preventing corruption. It has two review departments, which specialize in reviewing the work regulations and procedures of government departments and agencies, and accept corruption prevention consultation from private organizations to help identify possible corruption loopholes and prevent corruption.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption is different from other disciplinary forces in Hong Kong. They have their own unique mission oath: to strive to maintain fairness, justice, stability and prosperity in Hong Kong. We must work together with all citizens and remain unswerving, with a three-pronged approach of law enforcement, education, and prevention.
Eliminate corruption and promote integrity.
In order to separate from the anti-corruption department of the previous police department, and to maintain the good reputation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, a professional code of conduct has been specified, and all commissioners of the ICAC will consciously abide by it. "1. Adhere to the principles of integrity and fairness; 2. Respect everyone's
Legitimate rights; 3. Perform duties impartially without fear or favor; 4. Act absolutely in accordance with the law; 5. Do not seek personal gain by taking advantage of power and position; 6. Strictly observe the principle of confidentiality according to actual needs; 7. Take responsibility for your own actions and instructions; 8.
.Be restrained and polite in words and deeds; 9. Strive for perfection in personal and professional cultivation.”
Feng Yifeng still remembers that when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was first established, the ICAC vigorously fought against corruption and arrested many senior officials and ordinary police officers in the police station at that time. This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the police in Hong Kong, and even many police officers demonstrated
He went to the headquarters of the Independent Commission Against Corruption to express his dissatisfaction with the investigation of the police department by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Although he later reached an agreement with police representatives, the Independent Commission Against Corruption is still the most hated department by the police and other disciplinary forces.
I remember that for the sake of image issues, the ICAC uniformly required all investigators below to wear suits, and women should also wear steady professional suits to make people look energetic and energetic. Advertisements were also broadcast on TV to promote the ICAC’s
Positiveness and the need to fight corruption, and also vigorously express the confidentiality of reports, such as "Hong Kong is better because of icac"; "the ICAC keeps secrets, secretly".
Before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, an anti-corruption expert once said: "It's not wrong to make money, it's how you make money that's wrong. Fairness doesn't mean that everyone earns a hundred yuan. Fairness means that you earn a hundred yuan."
If you have the ability of 20 yuan, you can earn 100 yuan; if you have the ability of 20 yuan, you can earn 20 yuan. This is fair. You may make more money than me today, but if I have more talent than you, I will eventually be able to earn 20 yuan.
One day I will make more money than you." It is a very positive propaganda. As long as you work hard, you will definitely make money. Don't ruin your bright future just for a moment of greed. Never reach out if it is not yours, otherwise it will be easy.
You will make a mistake.
Of course, Feng Yifeng knew the purpose and background of the establishment of the ICAC very well. He had lived in Hong Kong for a long time in his last life. He had also heard some rumors about the ICAC, but as far as he remembered, the ICAC was established in February 1974.
It was established less than two years ago. The trigger was that Chief Superintendent Gerber was found to have more than 4.3 million Hong Kong dollars in wealth, which was suspected to be obtained from corruption. The Department of Justice asked Gerber to give him one week
However, during this period, Gerber easily fled Hong Kong to the United Kingdom, which caused long-standing public resentment to erupt. Even college students participated and launched an "anti-corruption, catch Gerber" campaign.
A large march was held to demand that the government arrest and bring Gerber to justice.
"Dad, did that Justice of the Peace really tell you that he wants you to join the ICAC?" Feng Yifeng thought of everything about the ICAC and couldn't help but shudder. Everyone knows who Feng Shengdong is, and now he actually wants one
Isn’t it ironic that the police who have embezzled tens of millions of dollars go to fight corruption? It seems to be very similar to the general environment of the 21st century, that is, corrupt people fight against corruption, and corrupt people fight against corruption. The more they fight, the more corrupt they become.
"Yes, he said at that time that he wanted to ask my opinion and would tell me the details in the afternoon. Although he did not say the main functions of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, he also revealed that it was specially established to fight corruption. Do you think I can
Do you agree? If you agree, you will slap Lu Le and the others. If you don’t agree? I’m afraid they will use me to do surgery to scare the monkeys. But Jida said that as long as I am willing to join, the superiors will sign an amnesty order. I used to
All the sins committed by me can be forgiven and let go of the past. But I am afraid that I will die to enjoy it. No matter whether I agree or not, I will not have a good life, so I want to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible, a place of right and wrong." Feng Shengdong's face was full of loneliness.
He smoked the cigarette in his hand fiercely. It seemed that the person had aged a lot at that moment.
Although Feng Yifeng sympathizes with him a little, she also wants to take good care of him. After all, Feng Shengdong is still his father. But it is his own fault. The roots planted before will bear whatever kind of fruit. What is the use of regretting now?
"Did you just say Ji Da? Was it Ji Da who called you?" Feng Yifeng wanted to confirm again that this Ji Da is not an ordinary person. Not only is he a Justice of the Peace, it is said that he will soon be awarded a knighthood.
But Feng Yifeng didn't care about these. What he cared about was that Ji Dake was the first anti-corruption commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. He served for four and a half years. Whether it was Lu Le or Geber, he was the one who ordered the investigation and signed the arrest warrant.
, so that the four detectives could not return to Hong Kong for decades, and finally died in a foreign land.
"That's him. I don't know him. I've only heard of his name. I don't know how he found me."
If it is affirmed, it means that the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been put on the agenda, and recruitment will begin now. But Feng Yifeng is very strange. In the police circles in Hong Kong, everyone knows that Dad and Lan Gang are very good friends. Usually,
They are all brothers, and their relationship with Lu Le is not bad. He must be involved in corruption. Why would Ji Da find him? Is it because he has worked in the anti-corruption department for a long time? But Feng Shengdong is here
Not only did the Anti-Corruption Ministry fail to fight against corruption, it also committed corruption in the name of anti-corruption. Otherwise, where would those tens of millions come from? Where would there be luxury estates in Canada?
"Dad, you don't need to think too much now. We are all making baseless guesses here. As for what Jida's purpose is, I think you will know if you listen to it this afternoon. As long as you don't agree to anything, he can't do it now."
What's wrong with you? What's more, if you really have to make a choice, you can just resign and fly to Canada with your mother, and they can't do anything to you." Feng Yifeng still comforted his father, this was really too much.
Suddenly, it was too bizarre, and he needed time to think about it.
Feng Shengdong didn't feel comfortable eating this lunch at all. He took half a bowl and put it down, and then went back to the room to rest alone. Feng Yifeng knew his father's difficulties and it was difficult to make a choice. If he agreed to Ji Da, then
They declared their break with Lu Le, Lan Gang and the others. As for how they will deal with their father, no one really knows. If they don’t agree to Ji Da, the worst thing that can happen is that they will be wanted by the British Hong Kong government for corruption. From now on, they can only
If you are exiled, you will never be able to come back for the rest of your life.
"Xiao Feng, what did your father say to you just now? It seems that he is not in a good mood. Are you angry with him again?" Mom looked at the closed door with a little worry. Regarding her husband's matter, she
She really doesn't know much, even her own son knows more details than her wife.
"Mom, Dad is fine. Maybe he is upset about the police station matter. He will handle it well. We have to believe in his ability. If anything happens, he will definitely tell you." Feng Yifeng didn't want to upset the whole family over this matter.
I was restless, so I had no choice but to push through.
Except for Feng Shengdong and Feng Yifeng, everything at home was as peaceful as usual. After dinner, my grandfather went out to find his chess buddies, and my mother didn't know where to go to talk to her three aunts and six grandmothers about the money, rice, oil and salt. Ruan Long drove to find those comrades and said
It was to help them move their things. Wenxiu and Nannan were sitting next to Feng Yifeng, doing their own things, unaware that the storm was coming.
When Feng Shengdong went to work in the afternoon, he was obviously in much better spirits. Maybe he had already figured it out. As for his decision, Feng Yifeng would persuade him to leave Hong Kong. Regardless of whether the Hong Kong government will settle accounts in the future, who can guarantee whether it will happen in the future?
Use what happened in the past to deal with him? With the relationship between dad and Lan Gang, if he is asked to betray his friends, he will definitely not be able to pass his test. Coupled with Lu Le and Yan Xiong's methods, dad knows a lot about it.
It is clear. If he really joins the ICAC, not only will his own life be in danger, but the entire Feng family including Feng Yifeng will be in danger.
Since neither party can offend, why can't they hide away if they can't offend him? As long as Feng Shengdong leaves Hong Kong, it means that he has not betrayed Lu Le and the others. Even if Feng Yifeng stays in Hong Kong, Lu Le and the others will still take good care and protect him.
Naturally, the Hong Kong government will not use a child to make a fuss about it. Not only will it do them no good at all, it will also ruin their reputation and the public will be disgusted with the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
