(ECNS) -- A 22-year-old mainland girl accused of laundering HK$10 billion in Hong Kong has jumped bail of HK$30 million and fled, the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao Daily reported.
Zhao Danna, the bail jumper, was accused of laundering HK$10 billion in December 2012 via eight Bank of China accounts.
After paying cash bail of HK$30 million and another HK$10 million from two guarantors, Zhao was released in December 2013, but has disappeared since January 7 this year.
The police have received no information about Zhao's whereabouts from the two guarantors.
The court held a hearing on Wednesday to decide whether or not to forfeit the two sureties. One of the guarantors surnamed Xiao told reporters that he knew Zhao's husband, a tea dealer in Shenzhen, but didn't knew where she had gone.
Another guarantor said to be Zhao's uncle runs a business in Hong Kong, but didn't attend the hearing.
Both are expected to attend another hearing on April 7.
The Sing Tao Daily said it may be Hong Kong's biggest case of bail jumping in recent years.
