Police say mainland Chinese authorities informed them in May that suspect was previously detained there for ‘illegally crossing the border’
A 50-year-old man who allegedly absconded in connection with a 2018 narcotics trafficking case has been transferred back to Hong Kong by mainland Chinese authorities, with the suspect to appear at court on Friday afternoon.
Hong Kong police said on Friday that authorities across the border had used a mutual notification mechanism to tell them on May 20 that the suspect was previously detained there for allegedly “illegally crossing the border” via mainland waters.
The force said the man was handed over to Hong Kong police at the Shenzhen Bay checkpoint on Friday after serving his prison sentence on the mainland.
