  • 葛柏(英語:Peter Fitzroy Godber,1922年4月7日-?),英國殖民地高級警官和貪污犯,曾任皇家香港警隊外籍總警司,他在1973年6月成功潛逃英國,企圖逃避警方對他涉嫌貪污受賄而展開的內部調查,引起輿論譁然,事件促成廉政公署在1974年2月成立。 葛柏在1952年加入香港警隊擔任見習督察,1955升任助理警司、1966年升任高級警司、以及在1969年晉升為總警司。他多年來在警隊表現突出,曾於六七暴動期間立功,屢獲英廷嘉獎。不過,葛柏事實上多年來暗地裡運用自己的職權貪斂大筆財富,涉及的貪污款項逾430萬港元。葛柏東窗事發和潛逃英國後,由於英國沒有香港《防止賄賂條例》下「收入與官職不相稱」的罪名,以致香港政府一時間未能把葛柏引渡。 葛柏事件引起社會輿論的極大反響,民間更發起「反貪污、捉葛柏」運動,除了促請港府儘早緝拿葛柏歸案,又要求正視香港的貪污問題。為了平息民怨,銳意肅清香港貪污問題的時任香港總督麥理浩爵士在1973年6月緊急責成最高法院高級副按察司百里渠爵士,就葛柏潛逃一事和香港的貪污問題提交報告;同年10月,麥理浩在《施政報告》中提出要成立一個向港督本人負責、並獨立於警隊的反貪機構,終促成廉政公署在翌年2月正式成立。 (zh)
