Hong Kong authorities have arrested two women for selling counterfeit football merchandise and seized about 1,000 items, including fake jerseys of English Premier League teams Arsenal and Liverpool, who are in the city to play friendly matches in the coming week. Advertisement The operation by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department was carried out a day before the start of the week-long Hong Kong Football Festival, which will bring four of the world's most renowned clubs to Kai Tak Stadium.

Following an investigation with help from the trademark owners, officers raided two hawker stalls on Wednesday, arresting the two women, aged 46 and 52, and seizing various items, including jerseys, jackets and caps worth an estimated HK$70,000 (US$8,900).

Retired Hong Kong social worker given community service for defrauding authorities
A retired Hong Kong social worker behind a dropped legal challenge arising from the San Tin Technopole project has been sentenced to community service for defrauding authorities out of HK$16,780 (US$2,138) in welfare benefits. Advertisement Eastern Court on Thursday adopted a probation officer's recommendation to sentence Eddie Tse Sai-kit to 120 hours of unpaid community work after his lawyer said he 'recklessly' understated his earnings to obtain four months' worth of old age living allowances last year. A presentencing report cited the 68-year-old defendant as saying he had mistakenly believed that he only needed to report his average monthly income over the year in his application to the Social Welfare Department. Acting Principal Magistrate David Cheung Chi-wai at one point questioned whether the court should accept the 68-year-old defendant's earlier guilty plea , before finding that his failure to make an accurate declaration went beyond mere negligence and deserved criminal sanction. Cheung also noted that Tse had admitted wrongdoing at the first opportunity and was remorseful.
