Manalo pleaded not guilty to a charge of dealing with property known or
believed to represent proceeds of indictable offence, contrary to sections
25(1) and 25(3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.
The charge arose from the flow of $1,086,434,
in deposits and withdrawals from her Hang Seng Bank account between 10th
andd 22nd of April 2024, which she claimed to have no knowledge of.
The amount, “directly or indirectly, represented
any person’s proceeds of an indictable offence,” the police complaint said.
