swindlers might probably be travelling with forged passports.
You are therefore requested to notify the Immigration Dept. of the full names and identities of the criminals and others under investigation so as to prevent them from leaving Hong Kong no matter they are travelling with genuine or forged travel documents.
On my part I had informed the InterPol of my cases asking their chief to circularise their units in member countries so that they will always be on the alert against such international criminals/swindlers based in Hong Kong. In the immediate future, I will write likewise to the authorities in such countries as U. S. A., U. K., Singapore, Malaysia etc. where, according to Mr Lam, the aforesaid Li Ming and Chiang Chiu Yuan are operating as swindlers as well. These strenuous efforts on my part have been and will be made in an attempt to block their entry into overseas countries by drawing the attention of the police and immigration authorities there to their real identities and crimes which go with them.
Meanwhile, I would offer additional tips to aid in police investigations into my cases as follows:
1. Triadmen Lai Fu() and Wong Hung) referred to in my Report have for many
years been carrying on the illegal business of 'Loan Shark' in Kowlbon which involves the squeezing and extorting of money from their borrowers by threats of force and other menaces; Lai Fu is the supplier of finance whereas Wong Hung is carrying out the directions of the former in all phases of their illegal activities; Wong Hung has an account with the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank and his wife banks with the Wing Hang Bank Ltd. Yaumati Branch; Wong Hung has a concubine with whom he lives away from
his own home.
2. During the four days I was with them in April, detective constable
told Lai Fu and Wong Hung that he had lent out some money as a 'Loan Shark' too and that he experienced difficulties in collecting repayments falling due; that he mentioned it to the inspector in charge of his squad who promised to enforce repayment of the moneys from his borrowers on his behalf. He also said that he had shareholdings in the H.K. Land Co. Ltd. and that he banked with the Hang Seng Bank Ltd; that he spent a few hundreds of dollars throughout the entire night in Oriental Ballroom on dances the day before, e.g. 21st April 1973 entertaining his inspector.
3. Mr Lam has been and is still the top administrator of the protection ring behind
'Lo Chin Kuk' or 'Tin Sin Kuk' swindle rackets. He is not only well acquainted with
(林大〃 and
永 , but also maintains
a close relationship with former Chief detective major for Hong Kong and Kowloon
(), serving detective inspectors
G. C.I.D. Headquarters, Hong Kong Island and
(2), C.I.D. Headquarters, Kowlon xayrx He lives on Hong Kong side but his residential address is not within my knowledge.
The notebooks in the pockets and papers in the possession of these persons should provide valuable information and other follow-up clues as to the whereabouts of Mr Lam and other persons involved in corruption and protection racketeering.
Persons involved in corruption, protection racketeering, triad society activities etc. usually have more than one residential addresses or places of liaison which should be ascertained and searched simultaneously and unexpectedly if your officers are to dig deep into cases of corruption and other illegal activities. It is in places other than their usual places of abode that evidence of guilt could be found, including triad society poems, writings, financial records, records of the names and addresses of ocerators of vice rackets and illegal places etc.from whom protection moneys are being periodically collected.
4. It is understood among local Chinese residents that most of the protection rackets involving police corruption in the Colony are being centralised by the two serving Chinese police chifs, e.g. D/I
When
was in office a ng to each protection ring
cr
few years back, there was only behind vice rackets and illegal places of every description covering Hong Kong Island and Kowloon districts but now there are two administrators following upon the creation of separate posts for Chinese policexchiefs, as revealed by Mr Lam.
5. It is a matter of common knowledge among local Chinese residents that protection
moneys commonly known as 'Pien' or 'Kwei'¢))) are usuallly collected by third
