HONG KONG (AFX-ASIA) - Wai Kee Holdings Ltd said that six serving and  former members of its management and staff, including its chairman and  vice-chairman, have been arrested by the Independent Committee Against  Corruption (ICAC).      The other four arrested were a former executive director and a serving  executive director of the company, and two members of staff of the Wai Kee  group of companies, it said in a statement.

The six have been released on bail.      The company said it is unaware of any evidence to support the ICAC's  suspicions, and does not expect the arrests to have any immediate impact on  the day-to-day operations of the company or its units.
