The Court of Final Appeal (TUI) announced yesterday that it has “not admitted” an appeal by ex-chief public prosecutor Ho Chio Meng against his 21-year prison graft sentence.
The city’s top court said in a statement that after its ruling to not admit the appeal, Ho’s sentence was final.
Due to his former position as a principal official of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR), Ho was tried by the city’s highest court. Ho was arrested in February 2016 and charged with hundreds of counts that included graft, fraud, abuse of power, false statements and money laundering.
