Former Chief Executive CY Leung has cautioned Democratic Party lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Andrew Wan, as well as two other party members, against making "libellous" remarks about him, warning them of possible legal action.
Lam, Wan, Senia Ng and Albert Ho on Monday launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to pursue allegations relating to a HK$50 million payment Leung received from Australian firm UGL around the time he took office in 2012.
They claimed that legal advice from the UK concluded there is a prima facie case against Leung – on allegations of bribery and misconduct in public office.
But in a statement posted on his Facebook page, the former Chief Executive described their accusations as being "unfounded and untrue", and he again denied any wrongdoing.
His lawyers also sent letters to the four Democratic Party members, reserving the right to take legal action against them for making "malicious and defamatory" remarks.
Last year Leung also filed a libel suit against legislator Kenneth Leung, also over comments he made about the UGL saga. The lawmaker said on Tuesday that the case against him was still ongoing.
