Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai and three associated companies of Apple Daily are charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” among other offenses. The case proceeded to its 73rd day of trial on Thursday (9th) at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts (acting as the High Court). Witness for the prosecution, Royston Chow Tat-kuen, COO and former CFO of Next Media, testified for the third day. The prosecution completed their direct examination, and the defense began their cross-examination, starting with questions about the “Lunchbox Meetings” and records from Apple Daily’s work platform Slack.
