But Alan Ho was released immediately as the court said the time he spent in custody awaiting trial had already exceeded the prison term imposed. Alan Ho and some other senior executives of Hotel Lisboa were among those arrested in January on suspicion of allowing prostitution at the property.
One was from Vietnam, while all the others were from mainland China. The trial of the case started on January 8 this year and ran for several non-consecutive sessions. The other five defendants, all employed by Hotel Lisboa at the time of their arrest, were each convicted on Thursday of one offence in relation to the case. Four of those were sentenced to prison terms of between five months and seven months and were released on Thursday because of time already spent in custody awaiting trial.
