Two Hong Kong property tycoons have gone on trial for allegedly bribing a top government official, in the biggest corruption case in the Chinese territory.

两位香港房地产大亨因被控行贿政府高官而受审，这是香港最大的一起腐败案件。

Brothers Thomas Kwok and Raymond Kwok, co-chairmen of Sun Hung Kai Properties, one of the world’s largest real estate groups, are accused of providing cash, loans and the free use of two apartments to Rafael Hui, the former chief secretary in the Hong Kong government.

新鸿基地产(Sun Hung Kai Properties)联席主席郭炳江(Thomas Kwok，见上图)及郭炳联(Raymond Kwok)被控向香港前政务司司长许仕仁(Rafael Hui)提供现金、贷款和两个公寓单位的免费使用权。新鸿基是世界最大的房地产集团之一。

The Kwok brothers, Mr Hui and two other co-defendants arrived in court yesterday for the first day of a trial that is expected to last more than two months. Mr Hui, who is accused of accepting HK$34m ($4.4m) in financial inducements, faces eight charges including “misconduct in public office” and providing false information. The Kwok brothers both pleaded not guilty as did Mr Hui and the other two men.

郭氏兄弟、许仕仁和另两位被告昨日抵达法庭参加首日庭审，庭审预计将持续超过两个月。许仕仁被控接受3400万港元（合440万美元）的贿赂，面临8项指控，包括“公职人员行为不当”和提供虚假信息。郭氏兄弟、许仕仁和其他两人均不认罪。

Several charges accuse Mr Hui of being “favourably disposed” towards Sun Hung Kai Properties and/or its affiliated companies in return for payments from the Kwok brothers and companies in the property group. Mr Hui is the highest level official to be arrested by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption.

几项指控称许仕仁“照顾”新鸿基地产和/或其附属公司，换得郭氏兄弟和新鸿基旗下公司支付的贿赂。许仕仁是香港廉政公署(Independent Commission Against Corruption)逮捕的最高级别官员。

According to Bloomberg Billionaires index, the Kwoks are the world’s 153rd and 154th richest people, each worth about $8.3bn.
