Chen's new lawyer, Mr Gary Low, asked to postpone the bail review to a later date as he came on board only two weeks ago.The 34-year-old Cypriot national faces two charges and was earlier denied bail as the prosecution stated that there would be a real risk of evidence getting destroyed through collusion or contamination.
But Deputy Public Prosecutor Nicholas Tan said that during the four years that Lin has been here, she acquired at least two new foreign citizenships — a Cambodian citizenship in 2021 and a Turkish citizenship this year.DPP Tan also said that Lin's ability to pay a fee to acquire passports from countries she has never been to means that she can procure new passports through similar methods.
