A domestic helper was sent back to jail after appearing at Fan Ling court, accused of dealing with more than $4 million in crime proceeds, in a case more popularly known as money laundering.
Daisy Pueyo, 43 years old, was not asked to enter a plea when she appeared on Friday (Oct.
3) before Acting Principal Magistrate Veronica Heung, who adjourned the case to
Nov. 25.
The case -- dealing with property known or believed to
represent proceeds of indictable offence, in violation of the Organized and Serious
Crimes Ordinance, is likely to be elevated to the District Court because the amount
involved exceeds the limit set for magistrate courts.

crime” because of deposits and withdrawals made between Jan. 15 and March 31, 2024
