Carson Yeung, owner of English soccer club Birmingham City, asked a Hong Kong court to halt his trial for laundering HK$721.3 million ($93 million) because records of his wealth from stock trading can’t be obtained.
“No fair trial was possible,” because documents crucial to the defense aren’t available, Yeung’s lawyer Graham Harris told District Court Judge Douglas Yau today. Stock brokers are only required to keep records for seven years, Harris said.
