Lack of treaty may quash corruption case
Print Edition
THE lack of an extradition treaty may block Michael Mo Yeung Ching from being deported from
Canada to face corruption allegations in China, according to a Vancouver lawyer.
Immigration lawyer Rudolf Kischer said: “The rule of law prevails in Canada, and the law says if you’re a permanent resident, you have the right to remain in Canada.”
Ching, a wealthy developer, lives in Vancouver.
Kischer said the Canadian government “has no way of kicking him out,” unless they can prove that he lied or hid information when securing Canadian residency in the mid-1990s.
Ching, 45, is accused by China of graft and corruption dating back to the late 1990s. He became a Canadian permanent resident, but not a citizen, in 1996.
Ching is the son of Cheng Weigao, the late Party chief of Hebei Province, who was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party in 2003 after a corruption investigation.
On April 23, China named Ching on a list of 100 people wanted for prosecution for his role in alleged embezzlement.
