The District Court today put off the hearing of a Filipina for
laundering $4 million in proceeds from crime, after his lawyer found out that another
criminal case had been filed against her.
Judge Ada Yim thus granted the request of the lawyer for
Daisy Pueyo, 44 hears old, for adjournment to Aug. 8 for further legal advice,
although details of the new case were not divulged.

Judge Yim also ordered her returned to jail.
Pueyo had been charged with dealing with property known or
believed to represent proceeds of an indictable offence, contrary to section
25(1) and (3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.
The charge arose from the deposits and withdrawals of $4,001,813.35
in her account with Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited between January
15, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

She is accused of dealing with the hot money, together
with a person known as Shiela Marquez, “knowing or having reasonable grounds to
believe that property… in whole or in part directly or indirectly represented
any person's proceeds of an indictable offence.”
