The Court held that the Crown proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant solicited a monetary advantage within the meaning of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (an 'advantage' may be monetary and need not be directly received by the appellant), that PW1's evidence combined with contemporaneous WhatsApp messages established the offence, and that convictions on the relevant counts are safe; sentencing was excessive in aggregate and was reduced by the Court to reflect compensation and proportionality resulting in a total term of 34 months' imprisonment.
