In a hearing at Kwun Tong Court Monday
(Oct. 13), Acting Principal Magistrate Leung Ka-kie handed the sentence to Lea
Callo, 32 years old, who pleaded guilty to the offense in an earlier hearing.

Callo was convicted of “dealing with property known or
believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence,” in violation of sections
25(1) and 25(3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.
The charge arose from the $937,789.50 in crime proceeds that
flowed in and out of her Bank of China account between May 24 and Oct. 26, 2022.
