A former executive director of Hong Kong’s Insurance Authority has been acquitted of misconduct in coercing insurer Prudential to hire her daughter-in-law. Magistrate Minnie Wat Lai-man ruled on Thursday that Carol Hui Mei-ying and Chan Tsz-wai were not guilty of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office, as the actions caused no actual damage to public trust in the regulator.
