There have been historically high-profile cases of misappropriation of public funds by police officers, including the wang shihe case in 1983. In november 1983, then chief inspector of the hong kong organized crime and triangular investigation section (o), wang shih-hyun, alias big circle, was responsible for the investigation of a robbery at a mall at the peninsula hotel, followed by the arrest of a number of bandits and the release of large sums of money。
But wang shih-hyun, a gambler in debt, bought all of the money he had spent in charge of the debt, and bought all of the money he had earned in the same year when he was “sin shan” but “sin shan” was only fourth, and all the money he paid was lost. Then wang shih had no money to “fill up”, and when he handed over the stolen items to the court, he used them as silver and placed them in a paper bag, which he was surprised when the judge opened and found that the stolen money was all white。
It is known that wang shih-hyun left the courtroom without knowledge and that the police eventually used him as a “safe house” for protected witnesses in shatin, exposing wang shih-hyun to suicide. (reporter dufazu)
