Forensic Support in Successful Defence of RMB 402.86 Million Money Laundering Charge (DCCC1588/2024; [2026] HKDC 1466)

Aug 14, 2026

Baker Tilly Aranea Forensic Investigation Company Limited is pleased to have provided forensic services in support of the defence in a significant ICAC case involving an alleged money laundering amount of approximately RMB 402.86 million.

After a 24-day trial, the defendant was acquitted by the District Court. The Court found that the predicate offence could not be substantiated and that the fund flow evidence (as determined by Baker Tilly Aranea) supported the defence assertion.

Led by our Executive Director, Faith Del Rosario, and Senior Advisor, Anoop Gidwani, our forensic team assisted in reviewing and analysing the relevant financial records and supporting documents, contributing to the successful outcome of the case.

Baker Tilly Aranea Forensic Investigation Company Limited specialises in commercial litigation, risk management and forensic investigation, providing clients with comprehensive and practical support in complex disputes and investigations.
