Former Caritas-Hong Kong employee allegedly altered booking records and stole outstanding guest payments
Hong Kong’s anti-corruption watchdog has charged a hostel manager with allegedly stealing more than HK$900,000 (US$114,651) from his employer by altering booking records and making false claims about outstanding payments.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) said on Wednesday that Li Kei-tat, 39, formerly an assistant lodge manager at Caritas-Hong Kong, faced a total of eight charges, including one count of an agent using a document with intent to deceive his principal, six counts of theft, and one count of fraud.
The watchdog said Li was responsible for front desk operations at Caritas Oswald Cheung International House in Aberdeen, which included collecting payments and inputting booking information into the computer system between July 2021 and June 2023.
