stem from Section 10C(1) of the Independent Commission
Against Corruption Ordinance. This section states, inter alia, that " An officer authorised in that behalf by the
Commissioner may:-
(c)
seize and detain anything which such
officer has reason to believe to be
or to contain evidence of any of the
offences referred to in Section 10...."
Section 10 itself lists a number of criminal
offences under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, the
Theft Ordinance, and offences relating to conspiracy and
assisting offenders.
This Commission intends to retain the
property removed from the aforementioned safe deposit box
as evidence and until such time as Mr Uwe Kaiser has been
tried for the criminal offences for which he is wanted in
Hong Kong; however long that may take.
I hope this clarifies our position in this
matter. Please also be advised that I do not intend to enter
into any further discussions with you in respect of this
subject or the laws of Hong Kong.
Yours sincerely,
JJ Shanahan)
