The former Secretary for Transportation and Public Works, Ao Man Long, has been formally accused of bribe-taking, money laundering, abuse of power and being in control of millions of dollars worth of properties. A statement released today by the Public Prosecutions Office said the Office has completed its investigation and has submitted the above-mentioned charges against him to the Court of Final Appeal. Under pre-trail procedures spitulated in the Macao's Criminal Procedural Code, a suspect has the right to appeal against the Public Prosections Office's charges within 10 days after having been notified of them, the statement said. The court has two months to complete the pre-trail procedures. If the charges remained at that time, the case will be heard in an appropriate court. Ao has been detained since the Commission Against Corruption arrested him on 6 December 2006.
