Yang Meiqi said that the next witness has a special identity. In order to avoid embarrassment and protect his personal safety, he applied for a special channel, but he did not need to give evidence behind the scenes, and the police might accompany him in and out.
Chen Zhenglong, SC, representing Lai Zhiying, and Huang Peiqi, SC, representing Huang Weiqiang, did not object to the prosecution’s application. Chen Guan then approved the application and arranged for the prosecution to arrange a lounge for the witnesses. It was mentioned in the trial for several days that the key witness has been in supply and demand for the longest time, which is estimated to be more than two days.
Looking through the information, Zhou Daquan (64 years old) was originally charged with a crime of fraud on December 3 of the previous year, along with Li Zhiying and Huang Weiqiang. On February 21 this year, the prosecution applied for a separate trial of Zhou Daquan’s charges, but they did not. It was revealed that the judge approved the split case without objection from Li Zhiying and Huang Weiqiang. Zhou Daquan will be arraigned on July 21, during which he was also exempted from reporting to the police station.
The staff of the Science and Technology Park recognizes that there is no entry. Officials on the 2nd to 4th floors: the tenants hate you?
In addition, Gu Yubing, the development manager of the Science and Technology Park Corporation, testified yesterday that he was led by Zhang Jiansheng, an Apple printing employee, to inspect the premises involved in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate in April of the previous year. Zhang Jiansheng said that there were reporters working on the 2nd to 4th floors, and because the news materials were sensitive, it was inconvenient to enter. I went to check, so the staff of Guhe Science and Technology Park did not enter at that time.
Hu Wenhao, a senior manager of the science and technology park during the inspection, also admitted that he did not enter the 2nd to 4th floors following being refused, and only saw employees working outside the door. The judge asked “Why did the tenant hate you?” and questioned that the inspection report did not mention being denied entry to the inspection. He described the report as “exaggerated”, and pointed out that the utilization rate of the three floors was 100%. misleading.
Hu also said that when he inspected other premises in the industrial estate, he was also denied access to some places. He reiterated that he might see that these floors were working and did not need to be recorded in the report.
As for senior development manager Li Weijian, he claimed that he had asked the other party to remove the water license of Apple Daily Charity Fund on the premises.
