Jimmy Lai, founder of Next Digital and three related companies connected to Apple Daily, faces charges of “conspiring with foreign forces” among others. The trial, which commenced at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court (acting as the High Court) on Monday (the 70th day of the trial), saw the testimony of the fifth “accomplice witness,” Chan Tsz-wah, on his twelfth day of testimony. The defense had previously completed their cross-examination, and it was now the prosecution’s turn for re-examination.
