The trial of former Suncity Group CEO Alvin Chau has been adjourned until 29 November after the prosecution filed a new charge sheet with the Court of First Instance on Thursday, amending a number of charges.

The court had expected closing arguments to be made on 21 November, however defense lawyers requested additional time following the filing of the amended charges, which included those relating to telephone betting and mainland assets.

All witnesses in the case have now given evidence, with the past few days seeing a number of witnesses for the defense taking the stand.
