Protracted delays in starting the case of a Chinese national accused of money laundering has forced the Court of Appeal to grant him bail.
Delivering their decision following a virtual hearing yesterday morning, Appellate Judges Mark Mohammed, Gillian Lucky and Mira Dean-Armorer granted $1 million in bail to Xiaofu Hu.
Hu was arrested by police after US$213,500 in cash was allegedly found hidden in his suitcase as he was set to board a flight at the Piarco International Airport in July 2019. Hu, who was charged under the Customs and Excise Act for exporting prohibited items, was denied bail by a magistrate and then by a High Court Master.
