Cely Espero

Anim na buwang kulong ang ipinataw sa isang Pilipina, na nauna nang naibalitang nawawala, matapos siyang umaming nagnakaw sa kanyang amo ng cash at mga alahas na may kabuuang halagang $59,900.

Tinanggap ni Cely Espero, 55 taong gulang at domestic helper, ang sentensiya nang humarap siya kay Acting Principal Magistrate Cheng Lim-chi sa Fan Ling Court nitong Lunes (Sept. 18). Agad din siyang ibinaik sa kulungan para tapusin ang kanyang sentensiya.

Kinasuhan si Espero ng paglabag ng Theft Ordinance, na nagtatakda ng parusang aabot sa 10 taong pagkabilanggo. Pero pinili ni Magistrate Cheng na simulan sa siyam na buwan ang parusa ni Espero, at dahil sa kanyang pag-amin ay nabawasan pa ito ng 1/3, kaya anim na buwan ang natira.

Ayon sa kasong isinampa ng Tai Po Police, nangyari ang pagnanakaw mula July 2022 hanggang July 22, 2023 nang arestuhin siya sa bahay ng amo niya sa Forest Hill, Tai Po.

Inamin ni Espero ang pagkuha ng cash na $2,300, kasama ang dalawang singsing, tatlong gintong pulseras at isang gintong pendant na nagkakahalaga ng kabuuang $57,600.

Si Espero, na taga La Union, ay ini-report sa The SUN ng kanyang pamangkin na si Mayet na nawawala simula pa nang huli silang mag-usap noong July 22, dahil hindi niya sinasagot ang kanyang telepono. 

Hindi rin sumasagot sa tawag ang kanyang amo na siyam na taon niyang pinagsilbihan.

Yun pala ay pinaaresto siya ng amo noong araw ding iyon.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Inilapit ni Marites Nuval, lider ng mga grupo ng mga taga La Union sa Hong Kong, kay Welfare Attache Dina Daquigan ang tungkol sa balitang pagkawala ni Cely.

Sinabi raw ni Daquigan na kahit sila sa Overseas Workers Welfare Administration ay hindi makontak ang employer ng OFW.

Si Mayet, na siyang nanghingi ng tulong noong July 28, ay kumontak ulit makalipas ang ilang araw. “Walang nangyari po, nasira po ang cellphone ng anti (auntie) ko po," ika niya.

Ayon pa kay Mayet, wala naman silang alam na problema ni Cely dahil maayos ang kalagayan nito sa trabaho, at katunayan ay kakapirma lang niya ng bagong kontrata sa amo, at may planong umuwi para magbakasyon ngayong Disyembre.

Si Espero ay may asawa at tatlong anak.

A warrant of arrest was issued Monday against an elderly Filipino businessman who failed to appear in Eastern Court for his sentencing on two charges of theft involving about 200 pieces of jewelry some seven years ago.

Celso E. Alejo, Jr., 72, was also absent from court on his original sentencing date of August 17 this year, but the prosecutor said at the time that he was in hospital.

Apart from the arrest warrant, the court also ordered Alejo’s cash bail of $40,000 cancelled.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE!

The charge sheet against Alejo gives details of the two thefts that he committed between 2016 and 2017, but made no mention of the amount involved.

In the first charge for which he was convicted, the theft involved a number of gold items, all belonging to M.K. Seen kay Kay and Mak Seen Wah, Sylvia, sometime in late 2016 until October 2017, at room B, 9/F, On Hing Building in Central.

Alejo’s LinkedIn profile shows he holds office there as the managing director of PTC Systems.

These were itemized as: 82 gold pendants, 75 gold coins, 16 gold bracelets, 8 gold rings, 7 gold disks, 6 gold ingots, 5 gold bangles, 5 gold figurines, 4 gold peaches, 3 gold ring bands, 2 gold peanuts, 2 gold balls, 2 gold chains, 1 gold Chinese zodiac wheel, 1 wedge shape gold piece, 1 gold earring, 1 gold clip, 1 gold frame, 1 gold bar and 1 platinum ring.

In the second charge for which he was also found guilty, he is accused of stealing a diamond necklace belonging to the same victims on Jan 17, 2017, from the Tak Wing Pawnshop on Des Voeux Road, Central.

No other details of the alleged offences were disclosed, but court records show an earlier civil case between the accused and Sylvia Mak was litigated in 2018, which appeared to have arisen from a commercial dispute.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Alejo was arrested and investigated on the two theft charges only last March 9. The hearing of his case was postponed at one point because his defense lawyer indicated his withdrawal from the case.

He was found guilty of the two offences by Eastern Principal Magistrate Ivy Chui on August 3 this year, and ordered his sentencing delayed until August 17.

Posted on No comments

Noong Marso lang ay ikinulong ang Pilipina dahil sa pangangalakal ng marijuana. 

Isang Pilipina at isang Pakistani na kasama niyang inaresto sa loob ng isang hotel room nang i-raid ito ng mga pulis noong Abril, ang binasahan kahapon (Sept. 18) ng kasong pangangalakal ng droga  sa Kowloon City Court.

Si Rhea Nerissa Maristela, 27 taong gulang at isang waitress, ay sinampahan ng dagdag na kasong paglabag sa Public Order Ordinance  dahil hindi agad nakapagpakita ng Hong Kong ID card nang hingin ito ng pulis na umaaresto sa kanya at sa kasama niya.

Emry’s owner to stand trial next year in $5.7 million laundering case

Posted on 18 September 2023 No comments

 

Ylagan outside the District Court in earlier hearing (File)

After seven years of investigation and court hearings, 70-year-old former employment agency owner Ester Ylagan will be tried at the District Court between January and February next year, on charges of laundering a total of $5.7 million over a seven-month period in 2016.

The 15-day trial from January 15 to February 2, 2024 was set after a pre-trial hearing held in chambers today at the District Court.

Ylagan pleaded not guilty to all four charges of money laundering nearly a year ago, or on Sept. 20, 2022.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE!

The trial date was originally set for January this year but Ylagan’s counsel had asked for more time to review the documents in the case which include 4,000 depositions of 43 witnesses, including 25 listed as victims.

Ylagan’s bail of $40,000 was renewed until the trial, set before Deputy District Court Judge Katherine Lo.

According to the charge sheet read out to Ylagan in court on August 11 last year, the alleged offences took place between Jan 29 to Jul 8, 2016, and involved a series of transactions, all in violation of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

In the first charge, Ylagan is accused of “dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of an indictable offence” on Jan 29 and May 5, 2016, in the sum of HK$2,633,181.52 and US$44,658 (HK$347,439).

The total sum of HK$2,980,620 was dealt with in cash.

The second count allegedly happened between May 12 to 23, 2016, during which the total sum of USD300,00 (HK2,334,000) was moved by Ylagan from an account with Standard Chartered Bank.

In the third count, Ylagan is accused with dealing with money believed to be proceeds from a crime, amounting to US$10,055 (HK$78,227) between May 25 and 26, 2016.

The last charge accuses Ylagan of handling a total amount of US$50,000 (HK$389,000), knowing it to be proceeds of a crime, on Jul 8, 2016.

The last two transactions were made using an account Ylagan held at HSBC.

The dates of the alleged offenses coincided with a job recruitment to Canada and the United Kingdom which Ylagan conducted at Emry’s office in WorldWide Plaza. At the time, Emry’s was the biggest recruitment firm for Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong.

Relying on Emry’s solid reputation in the business, about 200 Filipino migrant workers said they were enticed to apply for the jobs advertised by Ylagan, purportedly in the United Kingdom and Canada, for which each applicant was charged $10,000 or $15,000.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

The jobs all turned out to be bogus, and Ylagan jumped the gun on the applicants by going to the police and complaining about an online business partner she named as William Clinton Evans who allegedly duped her of $4.19 million before disappearing.

Ylagan also told police in a statement that it was Evans, whom she met only online, who offered to place her applicants in the UK or Canada. But after signing up about 400 applicants, she said she stopped because Evans wanted her to double the number.

Her unseen partner then stopped communicating with her, and Ylagan fled to the Philippines. She returned to Hong Kong in June 2018 and was promptly arrested.

Lawyers acting for the complainants at the time claimed they uncovered documents showing Ylagan and several other people close to her had sent a total of around $10 million to several countries as far apart as Malaysia and Burkina Faso.

The documents were turned over to the police, along with the names of the others involved in the apparent money laundering scam, but only Ylagan was arrested and charged.

Of the more than 200 Filipino applicants who sought police help, about 150 have filed claims to recover their money from Ylagan.

Some of the claims were upheld at the Small Claims Tribunal in Ylagan’s absence while the rest were moved to the District Court where they remain undecided.
