Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "City Harvest Church Criminal Breach of Trust Case" in English language version.
Two years ago, on May 31 2010, the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) started an investigation into certain financial transactions of CHC after receiving information of misuse of CHC funds.
The trial stretched over 142 days, from its start in 2013 to sentencing in November 2015. It is one of the longest criminal cases in history, beaten only by a drug trafficking case in the 1990s that went on for 168 days.
The court found the accused guilty of funnelling $24 million in church building funds into bogus bond investments to bankroll the music ambitions of Kong's wife, Ms Ho Yeow Sun. Later, they used a further $26 million to cover their tracks.
