One rule for the rich-again! If this guy had been a dishwasher he would have got 5 years, if this is not corruption then I don't know what is. He was found at the airport with a gun and ammo! Ignorance is not a legal defence, and he must be a bloody stupid (b/w)anker not to know that guns are not allowed on planes. THIS IDIOT SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

Banker escapes jail for having gun
06-10-2011
A senior banker has escaped a prison sentence for possessing an unlicensed gun found in his luggage at Chek Lap Kok airport. Yan Shen, 43, was ordered to carry out 240 hours of community service and fined HK$50,000.
Mr Yan, who headed the North Asia institutional clients group of Deutsche Bank Asia, was arrested in May when a pistol and ammunition were discovered during a search of his baggage.
District Court Judge Yau said the case was a special one. Judge Yau said he did not accept the defendant's explanation that he was unaware it was illegal to possess firearms.
However, Judge Yau said he'd decided not to jail Mr Yan because he was suffering from a "dependent personality disorder," and a prison term might affect his treatment.
The charge of possessing firearms without a licence carries a maximum penalty of 14 years in jail and a HK$100,000 fine. The gun was found in his luggage at the screening checkpoint in the departure immigration hall of Chek Lap Kok airport.
