Another Filipina domestic helper has been added to the list of those convicted of money laundering by letting their bank accounts be used to receive deposits of money that came from crime.
M. A. Nequinto, 53 years old, was jailed for nine
months by Magistrate Edward Wong last Monday (Sept. 23) after pleading guilty to
“dealing in property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable
offense.”

and having reasonable grounds to believe that the said property, in whole and
in part, directly or indirectly, represented the proceeds of an indictable
offense.”
The money was deposited and withdrawn, with the help of a certain
Zeny, from Nequinto’s Hang Seng Bank account between Sept. 23, 2019 and Dec.
