29 October 2024

 

Accused DH insists she's innocent of the charge of money laundering

A Filipina domestic helper whose bank account ended up being used to launder more than $1 million in crime proceeds, reasserted her innocence today at Kwun Tong Court, setting the stage for a trial on Dec. 3.

Josephine Calabroso, 58 years old, was appearing in a pre-trial review when prosecutors introduced an amended charge sheet dated Oct. 24. After it was read to her, she declared that she understood it.

When asked how she would plea, she reiterated her not-guilty plea.

She was then released on $3,000 bail.

Calabroso is accused of “dealing with property known or believed to be proceeds of indictable offense, contrary to section 25 (1) and (3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.”

The charge sheet alleged that between Aug. 26 and Nov. 30 in 2020, a total of $1,025,366.26 flowed in and out of her bank account in Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd.

Details of how Calabroso got embroiled in the case were not discussed during the hearing, but in her police statement she said her newly-acquired ATM card and a bank letter that contained its PIN, were in her wallet when she lost it.
