A Filipina has been returned to jail custody after a drug trafficking case against her was adjourned for Sept. 29 at the Eastern Court.
Ma. Divina Yap, 49 years old, appeared at Eastern Court on Friday
(Aug. 9) before Principal Magistrate Don So but the prosecution asked for an
adjournment to wait for laboratory test results to identify and quantify the dangerous
drug seized from her.
A complaint filed by anti-triad police on Aug. 3 did not specify the dangerous drug she supposedly trafficked.

The complaint just stated that she “unlawfully trafficked in a dangerous drug” when she was arrested last Aug. 1 at the basement of a building on High Street in Sai Ying Pun.
In a separate case at West Kowloon Court, Gian Edward Aldea,
35 years old, was freed on a $2,000 bail after he was charged with drug
possession and overstaying his visa.
The drug possession case arose after police allegedly found a plastic
bag containing 0.85 gram of methamphetamine hydrochloride (otherwise known as
ice or shabu) in his possession when he was stopped last April 11 at Lo Tak
Court in Tsuen Wan.

During an investigation at the police station, it was also discovered that Aldea was a visitor whose visa had expired on April 1 but he did not leave Hong Kong until he was arrested on April 11.
