The Filipina admitted guilt at Kowloon City Court |
A Filipina domestic helper was jailed for three months today after she pleaded guilty to money laundering by allowing her bank account to be used as depository for money derived from crime.
Susan Baral, 38 years old, appeared today at Kowloon City
Court, charged with conspiracy to deal with property known or believed to represent
proceeds from an indictable offence, in violation of the Organized Crime
Ordinance and punishable under the Crimes Ordinance.
She pleaded guilty after the charge was read to her at the
start of her trial before Magistrate Philip Chan.

The charge arose from the deposit and withdrawal of $22,000
from her HSBC account between Nov. 11, 2019 and March 20, 2020.
She was accused of conspiring with persons known as “Cheong Yongjae” and “Danny Ahmed” in dealing with property, knowing that it “directly or indirectly represented the proceeds of an indictable offense,” according to the police complaint filed last Feb 20.
