Three domestic helpers, two of them Filipinas and one Indonesian, were sentenced today in Kwun Tong Court to jail terms of from eight to 14 months after admitting their roles in related cases of money laundering.
Acting Principal Magistrate Leung Ka-kie heard the charges against
Filipinas Katrina Zafra and Antoneth Libaten and Indonesian Sugiarti together in
one case, because their bank accounts were traced to a scam.

Libaten, 44 years old, received the longest jail term of 14
months for “dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of
indictable offense”, in violation of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.
Her HSBC bank account received the biggest amount of crime
money in the group, at $1,023,500, between 8 and 15 June, 2021, with the help
of a certain “Sunday”.

was given the shortest sentence at eight months because the amount of crime money
that passed through her Hang Seng Bank account between April 28 and June 18,
2021, was the smallest in the group, at $530,294.72.
