La Law Society de Hong Kong cierra una firma vinculada a estafas de accidentes provocados

La Law Society de Hong Kong ha ordenado el cierre inmediato de Raymond Lam & Associates, un despacho bajo investigación por su presunto papel en estafas de accidentes provocados para cobrar seguros. El consejo nombró a Robertsons como agente de intervención para proteger a los clientes y al público, citando evidencia prima facie de actos deshonestos y violaciones contables por parte de los empleados.

La Law Society de Hong Kong anunció el miércoles que intervendría en el despacho Raymond Lam & Associates, el cual cesará sus operaciones con efecto inmediato.

En un comunicado, la sociedad informó que encontró evidencia prima facie que sugiere que empleados de la firma habían cometido actos deshonestos y no habían cumplido con las normas contables. La medida busca proteger los intereses de los clientes de la firma y del público, mientras continúa una investigación separada sobre la conducta individual de los abogados.

"De ser necesario, la Law Society remitirá el caso al convocante del Tribunal Disciplinario de Abogados para iniciar procedimientos disciplinarios", señaló. "Si se identifica cualquier delito penal en el curso de la investigación, la Law Society remitirá el asunto a la Policía de Hong Kong para su investigación".

Robertsons, otro despacho de abogados local, fue designado como agente de intervención para gestionar los asuntos relacionados con el cierre. La firma está vinculada a ubicaciones que incluyen Mong Kok y el CMB Wing Lung Bank Centre, y está asociada con Raymond Lam Yat-wah.
