The judge correctly applied the law that the prosecution need only prove reasonable grounds for belief and that the defendant knew of those grounds; on the facts (large unexplained cash flows through four accounts totaling over HK$18 million, low declared income, transaction patterns) there were objectively reasonable grounds and the applicant knew of them, so the conviction stands and leave to appeal is refused.
