The cases were heard at Tuen Mun Court |
Two Filipino domestic helpers have been ordered detained after appearing at Tuen Mun Court today for money laundering, because their ATM cards allegedly wound up in the hands of criminals who used these to deposit and withdraw millons of dollars they raised from scams.
The case of Leahlyn Pamonag, 35 years old, was transferred
by Acting Principal Magistrate Daniel Tang to the District Court because the
amount involved – a little over $3 million – exceeded the limit for cases than
can be handled by a magistrate court.
Marjorie Zablan, 45, was also remanded in custody for dealing
with property known or believed to be proceeds of indictable offense, for the
$1.6 milion that passed through her Hongkong and Shanghai Bank account.
