80岁黄百鸣,入狱服刑
据多家港媒报道,现年80岁的资深电影人黄百鸣17日主动前往香港西九龙裁判法院申请撤销保释,裁判官高伟雄批准其申请,黄百鸣须即时入狱服刑。
Well-known film producer and actor Raymond Wong Pak-ming was ordered to begin serving a five-month prison sentence immediately on Wednesday after the court approved his application to revoke his bail.
黄百鸣本月9日因内幕交易罪被判监禁5个月,当时获准以20万港元保释等候上诉。该案宣判仅相隔8天,黄百鸣便主动到庭申请撤销保释,获准即时收监服刑。
The filmmaker had been released on a HK$200,000 bail pending an appeal against his conviction. However, he appeared at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts today to voluntarily withdraw his bail.
In a written note submitted to the court, Wong indicated that while he intends to pursue an appeal of his conviction, he has decided to withdraw his bail application at this stage and has consented to begin serving his sentence effective immediately.
案情回顾
2017年8月至10月,黄百鸣担任天马影视文化控股有限公司(现更名为传递娱乐有限公司)主席期间,知悉公司即将被收购的内幕消息,怂恿胞妹购入天马影视文化控股有限公司股份。(此前报道)

判刑详情
裁判官高伟雄以监禁9个月作为量刑基准,综合考量案件拖延近10年、黄百鸣热心公益及对香港电影业的贡献等因素,最终将刑期减至5个月。法庭另判处其罚款逾9.9万港元,并要求他支付合计约37.4万港元的调查费与诉讼费。
In addition to his prison term, he was fined over HK$99,000 and ordered to pay about HK$374,000 for the Securities and Futures Commission's investigation costs.
审讯期间,黄百鸣辩称口中“尽买”是反话,本意是劝阻胞妹购入股票,裁判官驳斥该说法既荒谬又牵强,不予采信其证供。
黄百鸣是香港资深电影人,曾打造《开心鬼》《家有喜事》《叶问》等经典影视作品。
