The new chief of Hong Kong’s anti-graft agency has said his decades of experience in fighting corruption in the city’s prisons will help him lead the 1,400-member commission to safeguard the rule of law and national security.

Former head of correctional services Danny Woo Ying-ming, 56, took on his new role on July 1 after he was appointed by Beijing as the commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), succeeding Simon Peh Yun-lu who had held the position since 2012.
