An underworld fixer who arranged the illicit cross-border movement of the gang who staged the HK$28 million kidnap of a wealthy Hong Kong heiress has been jailed for more than two years after a secretive trial in Shenzhen.

More than a year after Queenie Rosita Law was snatched from her Sai Kung mansion and held in a hillside cave, it has emerged that a people smuggling specialist from Shenzhen has become the first member of the gang to be formally convicted in connection with the abduction.

After being snatched on April 25 last year, the 29-year-old granddaughter of late Bossini founder Law Ting-pong, endured a terrifying four-day ordeal during which she has since said she “feared for her life”.

The highest-profile kidnap-for-ransom in Hong Kong has also resulted in criminal proceedings in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

A source with a knowledge of the case told the South China Morning Post that the fixer – or snakehead – surnamed Jiang, was found guilty in March of arranging the illegal passage of the kidnappers between Hong Kong.
