味千(中国)(00538.HK)前CFO盗用公款逾2,650万元 判囚六年八个月
味千(中国)(00538.HK)前首席财务官刘家豪在2012年至2018年、七年间以可擦式原子笔擅改180张公司支票,不当盗取公司逾2,650万元,直至他向上司自白才揭发事件。被告在高等法院承认七项盗窃罪,被判监六年八个月。
法官李运腾称,本案涉及严重违反诚信,成功瞒天过海後变得更贪心及大胆,盗取金额一年比一年多,惟如果刘三年前没有自白,或许能继续掩人耳目,可见其自愿承担刑责的勇气,故总共给予刘55%刑期扣减。
案情指,味千(中国)在2007年於香港上市,被告获委任为首席财务官,主责财务会计及合规监控,并向九名高层发放薪酬。被告一般会在填好支票抬头及金额後,便拿给味千执行董事签署,但被告自2013年起,要求对方签署额外支票,声称为员工的强积金供款。被告在2018年主动向对方表示,自己以可擦式原子笔擅改公司支票,已盗取公司逾1,000万元,公司经调查後发现被盗款项逾2,652万元,被告在2018年底被革职。
辩方求情时指,他与妻子育有一子一女。刘案发时因工作压力而患有抑郁症,其解决方法为购买奢侈品来减少压力,根据小榄精神科医生诊断,刘患有躁狂抑郁症,但情况逐渐改善。刘自知患病并非犯案的藉口,亦知自己做错事,刘透过擅改支票形式不当取得逾2,650万元,扣除其近66万元薪金後,刘不当挪用公款共2,586万元,而刘自白後自愿连本带利向公司赔偿约2,904万元,当中包括涉案核数费用及律师费用。
