s30(1)(b) must be read narrowly: the prohibited disclosure of a subject person's identity or that 'the subject person is so subject' refers to being the subject of an investigation into offences under Part II of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance; disclosure that a person is under investigation for non‑Part II misconduct (eg public officer misconduct) does not fall within s30(1)(b); on the facts appellant's disclosures did not satisfy the statutory element and convictions were therefore unsustainable.
