Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA380/2024

The appellate court held the trial judge did not err in principle: he properly assessed the appellants' roles and culpability in the money‑laundering hierarchy, took into account the prevalence and seriousness of the offence and applied an appropriate plea discount; the concurrent sentence of 16 months was not excessive and the appeal was dismissed.

香港特別行政區訴彭長蓮

Citation

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC61/2021

The leave application was refused because the appeal raised pure issues of fact and credibility on which the trial judge gave detailed, reasoned findings accepting expert evidence and rejecting defence witnesses; the applicant failed to demonstrate any legal error in those factual conclusions, so there was no arguable basis to disturb the convictions.
