Principal Magistrate Don So ordered the background check after Echevaria pleaded guilty to both counts of “dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable crime,” in violation of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.

The first charge arose from the total of $413,000.21 that flowed in and out of her Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. account between the 16^th and 29^th of August 2019.

The second charge involved her Hang Seng Bank account which had deposits and withdrawals totalling  $120,000 between the 4^th and 13^th of September 2019.
