DCCC479/2019

### 案件基本資料 - 案件名稱：香港特別行政區 訴 蔡明陽、徐偉雄、林俊宏、MAJID AYYAZ - 法院：區域法院 - 法官：郭偉健 - 判決日期：2022年7月23日 ### 案情摘要 本案涉及警方「颶風」臥底行動。PW1滲透入和勝和三合會，見證第二至第五被告（D2-D5）參與三合會活動。D2、D3、D4參與一場以喪禮為掩護的集會；D2及D3邀請PW1轉投新義安；D5則在酒吧外掌摑一名男子並聲稱自己是「老新睇場」以保護一名女性。D2亦曾聲稱其三合會身分並帶人前往酒吧應對「掃場」事件。 ### 核心法律爭議 核心 legal issue 在於如何對違反《社團條例》的被告進行量刑。控方主張三合會罪行嚴重，通常應判處即時監禁。辯方則強調各被告角色較輕（如 D3 為小嘍囉）、缺乏暴力傾向（除 D5 外）、案發時間久且被告已改過自新，請求判處非監禁式刑罰。 ### 判決理由 法官分析認為，雖然以三合會成員身分行事屬嚴重罪行，但量刑須因應獨特案情。對於策劃者應判監禁，但對於僅聽從指示的參與者，在適當條件下可考慮非監禁刑罰。法官考慮到被告已離開社團、有穩定工作且感化官報告正面，認為社會服務令能平衡懲罰與阻嚇，同時兼顧其更生情況。 ### 引用案例與條文 引用 HKSAR v Liu Zi Feng (CACC108/2020) 確立量刑須因案而異，以及 HKSAR v Choi Ka Fai (CACC195/2009) 關於三合會罪行一般應即時監禁的原則。 ### 裁決與命令 所有被告均獲判處非監禁式刑罰：D2、D4 及 D5 每人被判處 180 小時社會服務令；D3 被判處 150 小時社會服務令。相關控罪之刑罰同期執行。 ### 判決啟示 本案顯示法院在處理三合會罪行時，若被告能證明已徹底脫離社團、展現顯著的更生跡象且在社團中地位低微，即使涉及暴力（如 D5），仍有可能獲得社會服務令而非即時監禁。 --- ### 免責聲明 本摘要由人工智能自動生成，內容可能存在錯誤或遺漏，僅供參考，不構成法律意見。如需法律建議，請諮詢合資格律師。### Case Details - Case Name: HKSAR v Choi Ming Yeung, Szeto Wai Hung, Lam Chun Wang, MAJID AYYAZ - Court: District Court - Judge: Kwok Wai Kin - Date of Judgment: 23 July 2022 ### Factual Background Following an undercover operation ("Hurricane"), PW1 gathered evidence against D2-D5. D2, D3, and D4 participated in a triad gathering disguised as a funeral. D2 and D3 invited PW1 to join the Sun Yee On triad. D5 assaulted a man outside a bar while claiming to be a triad "lookout" to protect a woman. D2 also claimed triad membership while leading others to a bar to handle a "turf" dispute. ### Key Legal Issues The primary legal issue was the appropriate sentencing for offenses under the Societies Ordinance. The prosecution argued that triad-related crimes typically warrant immediate imprisonment. The defense contended that the defendants held low-level roles, lacked malicious intent, and had since rehabilitated, requesting non-custodial sentences. ### Ratio Decidendi The judge held that while acting as a triad member is a serious offense, sentencing must be individualized. While organizers deserve imprisonment, low-level participants who merely followed orders may be eligible for non-custodial sentences. Given the defendants' stable employment, positive probation reports, and total severance from triad societies, the judge found community service orders appropriate. ### Key Precedents & Statutes Cited HKSAR v Liu Zi Feng (CACC108/2020) regarding the need for individualized sentencing and HKSAR v Choi Ka Fai (CACC195/2009) regarding the general appropriateness of immediate imprisonment for triad offenses. ### Decision & Orders All defendants received non-custodial sentences: D2, D4, and D5 were each ordered to perform 180 hours of community service; D3 was ordered to perform 150 hours. Sentences for multiple charges run concurrently. ### Key Takeaways The judgment highlights that significant rehabilitation, a low rank within the organization, and a positive probation report can mitigate the typical presumption of immediate imprisonment for triad-related offenses, even where minor violence occurred. --- ### Disclaimer This summary is AI-generated and may contain errors or omissions.
