On Wednesday, the curtain finally fell on the saga of Bossini heiress Queenie Rosita Law’s kidnapping as she was returned HK$6.54 million in ransom money.

The sum was earlier recovered by Shenzhen police over several occasions, with the arrests of nine gangsters involved in the HK$28 million kidnap case which saw Law abducted on April 25 last year after the gang broke into her home in Sai Kung.

Law, whose grandfather Law Ting-pong founded the Bossini empire, was held in captive in a cave in Fei Ngo Shan before she was released three days later on April 28 after her family paid the HK$28 million demanded by the gang.

The kidnappers buried HK$21.35 million in the Hong Kong countryside and brought HK$6.54 million across the border and hid it in several locations, along with jewellery valued at HK$3 million, which they had snatched from Law’s house.

All the ransom money and valuables were later recovered by Hong Kong and mainland police, except HK$110,000 which had been used during the gang’s escape.
