    Citation
    HKSAR v. JAVID KAMRAN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC400/2004

    The Court upheld the judge's findings that the applicant had benefited from specified drug trafficking offences, that the value of proceeds was $1,190,264, and that the irresistible inference of effective control justified treating funds in the Zeeshan account as realisable property of the applicant; the certified recoverable amount $523,831.20 and the default imprisonment term (18 months) were lawful and the delay did not produce unfairness, so the application to appeal the confiscation order was dismissed.
