HK Court of Final Appeal, 14-Aug-2015
Mr Yeung gets bail pending his final appeal to be heard from 31-May to 2-Jun-2016, on matters of "great and general importance", including the question of whether it is necessary for the prosection to prove, as an element of the offence of money laundering, that the proceeds were in fact proceeds of an indictable offence. The outcome of the appeal could mark a turning point, because until now prosecutors have relied on defendants simply having "reasonable grounds to believe" that money is dirty without proving that it is, and numerous convictions have been based on that.
