Another Filipina was jailed for 10 months today for money laundering after she admitted her role in dealing with $1.2 million proceeds of crime.
Jessebel Questo, a 47-year-old Hong Kong resident who works
as a cleaner, was meted the jail term after pleading guilty to the charge of
dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable crime,
in violation of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.

She pleaded guilty to allowing the use of her Hang Seng Bank
account in money laundering, having received deposits of $1,200,321.71 from
Nov. 9 to Dec. 2, 2022.
Questo’s conviction also activated a one-month suspended
sentence that was meted to her in a 2022 case in the Kowloon City Court.
But Principal Magistrate Don So ordered that the old penalty
run at the same time as the new jail term.
