A Filipina domestic helper who has been in detention since June, was today sentenced at Kowloon City Court to 12 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to submitting an expired employment contract so she could be granted a loan of $36,000.
Counting the days she has served along with holidays and
weekends which are deducted from her sentence, Aleya A. Facundo, 41 years old, may
be free by middle of September.

Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung accepted Facundo’s plea on Friday (Aug. 16) after putting if off from July 19.
Facundo had been charged with fraud for taking out the loan
on Nov 27, 2023 at Prime Credit’s office in Tsim Sha Tsui, falsely representing
that she was still employed as a domestic helper.
She was arrested on June 19 after Prime Credit complained to
police.

After an investigation, the Yuen Long PolIce filed information accusing Facundo of inducing staff at the money lending company to immediately approve the loan, “resulting in prejudice or a substantial risk of prejudice to Prime Credit Limited.”
