The charge arose after $747,444 of proceeds from crime passed
through her Hang Seng Bank, in a series of deposits and withdrawals between September
25, 2019 and July 31, 2020.
She was charged with dealing with money derived from crime, “knowing
or having reasonable grounds to believe that” the property “in whole or in part
directly or indirectly, represented any person's proceeds of an indictable
offence,” according to the information filed by Tai Po police.
