The Taiwanese homicide suspect Chen Tongjia, who triggered the Hong Kong government to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, has not gone to Taiwan to surrender since he was released from prison for money laundering in October last year. He has lived in a safe house provided by the police for the past two years.
"Hong Kong 01" learned that Chen Tongjia had left the safe house three months ago and moved to a place far away from the city and deep in the mountains. The police still provided limited personal protection at first, and then completely withdrew, which means Chen Tongjia has returned to "freedom." .
According to sources, Chen Tongjia has been under police 24/7 protection for more than 20 months, and the arrangement cannot last for a long time. Between June and July this year, Chen Tongjia was arranged to leave the safe house and move away from the city. The police still provided 24 hours at first. Personal protection was provided, but the manpower was significantly reduced. Afterwards, seeing the new arrangements went well, the police ended the protection operation.
Last Friday (8th), the Secretary for Security Deng Bingqiang was asked at a press conference whether Chen Tongjia was still living in the police safe house. Deng Bingqiang said that for operational reasons, he could not disclose whether someone still lives in the police safe house.
Guan Haoming, secretary-general of the Anglican Education Ministry who assisted Chen Tongjia, pointed out last month that Chen Tongjia will definitely surrender to Taiwan, but when he will start, "you might as well ask the Taiwan government."
Deng Bingqiang said that Chen Tongjia still wanted to go to Taiwan for trial and refused to disclose whether Chen was still living in the police safe house. Security Bureau: Taiwan allowed Chen Tongjia to go to Taiwan to settle the case of Chen Tongjia. No comment on whether Chen Tongjia's case was protected by the police. Resolution of the case: low request to the Election Committee | Guan Haoming appeared to vote: When will Chen Tongjia return to Taiwan to surrender and ask the Taiwan government
