Chinese national US$6m externalisation trial in false start

THE trial of Chinese national Li Song for theft of trust property and externalisation of US$6 million has been moved to August 30 to allow the State to verify a document which is key to the case.

Li produced a document of alleged fund acquittals, which formed the basis of the externalisation allegations.

During police investigations, EcoBank provided a statement indicating that Eagle Italian Shoes (Pvt) Limited had outstanding acquittals related to import documentation.
