Leaders Of Disbanded CTU Taken Away By Police

Several former leaders of the now-disbanded Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU) have been taken away by the police over an alleged violation of the Societies Ordinance, RTHK learnt on Thursday.

Former president Joe Wong, former vice-president Leo Tang and ex-treasurer Chung Chung-fai have been asked to assist a police investigation, over the group’s alleged failure to hand in information the force demanded last month.

The former group's secretary-general, Lee Cheuk-yan who is in jail, is also being questioned by officers.

The police have also applied for court warrants to search two premises linked to the group, which disbanded in October last year.

The police had earlier asked for information regarding the CTU's past operations.

Reports, including from Ta Kung Pao, said the former leaders submitted responses to the police on March 24.
