Introduction

Police in Hong Kong arrested two people for stealing money. The court also stopped a businessman from using his money.

Main Body

Police arrested Jason Kong and his wife. They lied to the government to get loan money during the pandemic. Jason put some of this money into his own bank account. Jason also helped people in a building called Wang Fuk Court. He wanted a meeting for the residents. But the building managers did not want to talk to him. In another case, a court stopped Chen Zhi from using his money. He has more than 9 billion Hong Kong dollars. The police say he ran a big scam to steal money from people. He has expensive houses and a big company.

Conclusion

The police still hold Jason Kong and his wife. A judge will talk about Chen Zhi's money on August 3.
