David Matas and Mo Yeung Ching

political conspiracy: His lawyer, David Matas, is seeking to overturn that decision on the assertion that the charges against his client are a political conspiracy that stemmed from a property purchase in the 1990s. "He wasn't involved in any way," Matas told court. "He just introduced the would-be buyer and the would-be seller." The controversy surrounds a 1997 purchase by a provincial government in China from a joint-venture company, according to Brandon Sun. Ching father was the head of a provincial government body and also knew the real estate broker, so Ching helped the two sides get together, Matas said. Mo Yeung Ching was denied a refugee claim last year. Years later, the Chinese government investigated the matter and alleged that Ching, along with others, conspired to collect an inflated commission from the sale. The corruption accusation is a key reason why Ching claim for refugee status was rejected. Matas said Tuesday the accusation is untrue and was simply part of Communist Party infighting and an attempt to get to Ching politician father. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
