The grassroots New Macau Association (NMA) complained yesterday about Secretary for Administration and Justice Sonia Chan Hoi Fan and her predecessor, Florinda da Rosa Silva Chan, to the Public Prosecution Office (MP) for alleged nepotism.
Sonia Chan Hoi Fan and Florinda da Rosa Silva Chan are not related.
Former Prosecutor General Ho Chio Meng disclosed the alleged nepotism during his ongoing trial for alleged corruption in the Court of Final Appeal (TUI) last month.
Ho said Sonia Chan and Florinda Chan had contacted him separately, ‘recommending’ relatives to him for a job at the Public Prosecution Office. According to local media reports, the relatives are Sonia Chan’s husband and Florinda Chan’s brother. Both were reportedly hired by the Prosecution Office.
