Hong Kong  - Two bell captains and three other staff from a luxury Hong Kong hotel were Thursday jailed for taking bribes from a well-known tailor for referring wealthy guests to his shop.

Wong Hing-cheung, 60, Yeung Wing-wai, 32, both former guest relations agents of The Marco Polo Gateway Hotel, and former bell captains Cheng Chi-chiu, 59, and Leung Siu-ho, 45, all admitted accepting bribes.

They were jailed for two months each at the hearing in Hong Kong's Kowloon City Court and ordered to pay compensation of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars each (128 US dollars) to the hotel.
