The fourth day of the trial for conspiracy to collude with foreign forces involving “Next Media” founder Jimmy Lai and three related companies of “Apple Daily” was held today (January 2) at the West Kowloon Court (provisional High Court). Before the hearing, the prosecution applied to leave one of the charges of colluding with foreign forces on court file. Lai has pleaded not guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit collusion with foreign forces and conspiracy to publish seditious publications that he and the three companies face, and one count of conspiracy to commit collusion that he faces alone.
