Plans: Pro & AgencyWanted-Person Record Check
Check whether a person appears in the wanted-person records of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority, keeping allegations apart from adjudicated findings.
Wanted-Person Record Check answers the question of whether a person appears in the wanted-person records published by Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority. Give Nexus the subject’s name; known details such as aliases, date of birth or nationality narrow the candidates. Nexus reviews the supported records and returns each candidate with the information needed to confirm or dismiss it.
What you get
Wanted-person candidates from Hong Kong anti-corruption records, with allegations and adjudicated findings kept apart.
Using Wanted-Person Record Check in an investigation
Each candidate shows what the record states about the person and the matter, with allegations kept apart from adjudicated findings, so a wanted notice is never read as a conviction. Nexus treats identity similarity and record relevance as separate questions: a similar name is a candidate to examine, not a finding about the subject, and the record’s date is kept with it because a listing can be withdrawn or outdated.
Results attach to the case as findings, and dismissed candidates stay on record with the reason. Wanted-Person Record Check pairs with Sanctions, PEP and Risk Screening for the broader risk screen and with News and Adverse-Media Timeline for the public reporting around a case. The outcome exports to a PDF report with the chain of custody preserved.

Ask Nexus
“Does this person appear in the wanted-person records of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority?”
Ask Nexus
“Which wanted-person candidates for this name can be dismissed from the date of birth we hold?”
Ask Nexus
“What does the record say about this candidate, and which parts are allegations rather than findings?”
How Wanted-Person Record Check fits the investigation

Evidence before conclusions
What Wanted-Person Record Check cannot establish
Nexus keeps supported findings, possible matches, contradictions and information gaps apart instead of blending them into one narrative. These are the boundaries Wanted-Person Record Check states up front.
- The check covers the wanted-person records of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority only. It does not search other national or international wanted lists, so no result says nothing about records elsewhere.
- A name candidate does not establish identity, guilt or that a warrant is still valid. The investigator confirms identity from the case details and the current status from the issuing authority.
- A wanted-person record states allegations. Nexus keeps them apart from adjudicated findings and does not treat a listing as proof of wrongdoing.

Frequently asked questions
What does Wanted-Person Record Check return?
Wanted-Person Record Check returns candidates from the wanted-person records of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority that may match the subject. Each candidate shows what the record states, with allegations kept apart from adjudicated findings, the record’s date and the details that support or weaken the match. The investigator confirms or dismisses each candidate with a recorded rationale.
Which wanted lists does Wanted-Person Record Check search?
Wanted-Person Record Check searches the wanted-person records published by Hong Kong’s anti-corruption authority and nothing else. It does not cover other national police lists or international notices, so a person missing from the result may still be wanted elsewhere. The narrow scope is deliberate: every candidate comes from a known, dated source.
Does a match mean the person is guilty or currently wanted?
A match in Wanted-Person Record Check is a candidate whose details resemble a person named in the record. It does not establish identity, guilt or that a warrant is still valid. Wanted-person records describe allegations, so the investigator confirms identity from the case details and the current status with the issuing authority before acting.
