The stewards' inquiry into the Chris Munce tips-for-bets scandal will resume on Monday week after the Australian jockey was charged with 36 breaches of the Hong Kong Jockey Club rules of racing.

Munce, 39, was released from Sydney's Silverwater prison last week, having served 20 months of a 30-month jail sentence after being found guilty in the Hong Kong District Court of "conspiracy to accept advantages".

The Hong Kong stewards' inquiry which began in July 2006 was reconvened on Monday when evidence was taken from Munce via video link from Sydney and additional documents were tendered as evidence.

Stewards on Wednesday night formally charged Munce with three counts relating to improperly making information (tips) available, 32 of betting or having an interest in bets on Hong Kong races from December 3, 2005 to July 2, 2006, and one of being found guilty of corrupt, fraudulent or improper practice of a criminal nature.

The inquiry will be continued, again via video link, on November 17.

"At that time the racing stewards will hear and determine the charges which have been brought against Christopher Munce," stewards said in a statement.
