A Hong Kong court granted bail to Li Min, an assistant manager linked to a renovation project at the site of a deadly fire. She faces a money laundering charge in the first criminal case against those accused over the blaze.
Li Min, 33, received bail of HK$300,000 at the High Court on July 2. She had been held for three weeks. Her boyfriend provided an additional surety of HK$100,000.
Mr Justice William Tam Yiu-ho set conditions that include surrendering travel documents, living at her boyfriend’s flat in Sha Tau Kok, reporting to police three times a week, and avoiding prosecution witnesses.
The case involves the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po on November 26, 2025. Li is accused of handling more than HK$1.37 million in alleged illegal proceeds through her bank accounts between October 16, 2019, and November 30, 2025. Police and the ICAC have brought 25 counts against seven individuals and two companies, covering offences such as manslaughter and conspiracy to defraud.
