Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption charged Wong Lei-po, a former laboratory director at Hong Kong Molecular Pathology Diagnostic Centre Limited, with one count of fraud. The ICAC alleges that he failed to disclose an interest in Health Conscience Limited while overseeing subcontractor selection for COVID-19 Community Testing Centre operations.
The subcontracted services generated payments totalling HK$120 million, according to the ICAC. Wong was released on bail pending a court mention; the charge remains an allegation and no conviction or settlement was reported in the source material.
