In two recent operations, “Rocket Gun” and “Beacon Tower,” the ICAC arrested a total of 148 individuals for allegedly fraudulently obtaining professional qualifications in excavator operations and electrical work. Operation “Rocket Gun” involved 111 arrests, including a mastermind, company owners, and construction workers who allegedly falsified employment documents to gain certifications. Operation “Beacon Tower” led to 37 arrests connected to the fraudulent acquisition of Grade A Electrical Work Certificates. Both operations stemmed from corruption complaints and revealed significant forgery and bribery in the application processes for these professional qualifications. The ICAC continues to investigate and has been working with relevant departments to enhance oversight and prevent future corruption.
