Hong Kong diamond buyer jailed for $1.4M gem theft to fund gambling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A former procurement manager for Tse Sui Luen Jewellery in Hong Kong has been sentenced to over six years in prison for stealing HK$11 million (US$1.4 million) worth of diamonds. Mui Ka-fai, who had 35 years of experience in the industry, admitted to three counts of theft, misappropriating 2,557 carats of diamonds between April 2023 and February 2024. The judge noted the thefts were carefully executed and covered up, and would likely have gone undiscovered if not for the impending termination of Mui's employment. AI
