An unemployed Filipina has been jailed for seven months at Eastern Court for money laundering, after she pleaded guilty to the charge. However, she mantained that she still had no idea how this resulted from her lending her ATM card.
Jocelyn Arellano, 40 years old, was responding to Principal
Magistrate Don So’s questions on Wednesday (April 9) after the charge was read
to her and she pleaded guilty.
“I have no idea,” she answered when asked by Magistate So if
she understood the charge against her. “They just borrowed my account.”

The borrowed ATM card was subsequently used to deposit and
withdraw $354,700 in crime money from her Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp.
account from May 27 to Aug. 26, 2020.
She was then charged with dealing with property known or
believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence, in violation of the Organized
and Serious Crimes Odinance.
