    香港特別行政區 訴 梁兆邦

    District Court
    Case number
    DCCC313/2025

    The court found sufficient common factual origin and links (cohabitation, contemporaneous seizure of cash and valuables, account transfer history and economic disparity) between D1, D3 and D4 to treat their laundering offences as a related series; consolidation was allowed because any potential prejudice to D3 or D4 could be addressed by a professional judge separating consideration of evidence and counts, and severance would cause inefficiency and repetitive evidence without avoiding the evidential nexus.
