Singapore penny stock crash: Prosecutor says 161 charges sufficiently clear
14 May 2019
On May 10, both defence counsels of John Soh and Quah Su-Ling asked the prosecutor to amend the 161 charges to provide sufficient particulars related to the instructions to place orders and trades. “These details are sufficient to give the accused persons notice of the illegal conduct they are charged with,” said Teo in his reply submission before High Court Judge Hoo Sheau Peng here today.
In their submission last Friday, defence counsels said that the charges were insufficiently particularised to the extent that they are misleading to the defence.
