TVB GM Stephen Chan arrested for alleged corruption
Posted: 12 March 2010 1205 hrs
HONG KONG : TVB general manager and host of popular talk show "Be My Guest", Stephen Chan, has been arrested along with four others by Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Thursday for alleged corruption, said Hong Kong media.
Chan, who turns 50 this year, was taken into custody along with TVB's head of business development Wilson Chan Wing-suen; variety department executive producer Wilson Chin Kwok-wai; actor Ning Jin; and the director of an advertising firm.
Chan was rumoured to have abused his position in TVB to enrich a shell company that he owned. The shell company allegedly made about HK$10 million (S$1.8 million) over the years.
TVB's external affairs division assistant controller Tsang Sing Ming announced on the same day that the company has suspended Chan and the other three arrested TVB employees from their duties, adding that the television station will fully cooperate with ICAC investigations.
Production of Chan's popular talk show "Be My Guest", which counts Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang and disgraced star Edison Chen among its previous guests, has also been suspended. However, a pre-recorded episode will apparently be broadcast as scheduled.
Tsang claimed that he cannot give any details as the anti-graft body's investigation was still under way but said that the matter would not affect TVB's daily operations.
Veteran TVB artiste Eric Tsang told Hong Kong media that he did not know the details of the matter but believed Chan was probably not involved in corrupt practices.

2010 TVB corruption scandal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TVB corruption scandal is a corruption probe involving the general manager of the Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) Stephen Chan Chi Wan and two other TVB staff who were arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Aside from Chan, involved was TVB head of business development Wilson Chan Wing-suen, TVB variety department executive Wilson Chin Kwok-wai, actor Ning Jin and Edthancy Tseng Pei-kun, head of an advertising company.[1] TVB confirmed that three of their employees were involved, and that their duties and work had been suspended pending further development.[2].
[edit] Background
Chan was said to control a shell company through his personal assistant to which he is alleged to have awarded production contracts from TVB. The shell company has no production facilities of its own but outsources the work to other production houses at a much lower rate than it receives from TVB, pocketing the difference the shell company having accumulated as much as HK$10 million over the years. This outsourcing is itself thought to be unnecessary since TVB has the resources in house to handle these productions.[1] One of the arrested is the manager of artist's contracts at TVB and using this position many actors and actresses have been forced to perform in major shows and other functions, and even ribbon cutting ceremonies for free or at very low pay. These artists are said to include Bernice Liu, Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung and Charmaine Sheh.[1]
Prior to the arrest, in late February 2010, speculation existed that TVB deputy chairman Mona Fong had dropped Stephen Chan from her inner circle after he failed to accompany her to a variety show.[3] Chan was also blamed over a copyright issue with the Hong Kong Recording Industry Alliance, and has not been popular with the staff after he laid off hundreds of employees in 2009. Many other artists however have expressed regrets in the situation.[3]
[edit] Arrests and release on bail
Chan and the four other were arrested on March 11, 2010 and were released on bail without being charged, the next day.[2].
