The applicant, having recruited and accompanied the courier, arranged the meetings and ensured the courier returned to Hong Kong with the cards, was in joint/constructive custody or control of the counterfeit cards under s77 of the Crimes Ordinance; coupled with his admissions and objective evidence that he knew the enterprise was illegal, the judge rightly found he knew the cards were counterfeit and intended they be made operative and used to defraud, so the elements of the offence were proved and leave to appeal was refused.

Citation

HKSAR v. NGUYEN, THI NGA
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA214/2006

The magistrate was entitled to reject the appellant's account because the observed act of the co-accused placing cigarettes at the appellant's feet, together with the electricity bill in the appellant's name at the address where further cigarettes were found, made the innocent explanation implausible; on that basis the inference of guilt was overwhelming and convictions were upheld.
