1. The defendant pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to deal with the proceeds of an indictable offence. This is an offence variously described as a telephone-deception-type case where phone calls are made to people in Hong Kong and threats are made in relation to their relations unless they part with substantial sums of money. Notwithstanding the publicity which surrounds these cases, they are still very prevalent in Hong Kong.
