ME News Report, June 23 (UTC+8), the Hong Kong District Court today sentenced a case of cross-border money laundering. A 34-year-old woman from Mainland China was convicted of opening multiple puppet accounts at a local digital bank to assist cross-border criminal groups in laundering illicit gains, and purchasing cryptocurrencies at virtual asset exchanges to conceal the source and destination of funds. She was found guilty of four counts of money laundering and sentenced to 47.5 months in prison.
Investigation shows that the woman laundered approximately HKD 9.29 million in suspected criminal proceeds between August and September 2024.
