The brothers were arrested in connection with conspiracy to defraud having flown in from South Africa - their final stop in a three-month globe-trot, out of Hong Kong authorities' reach.

They were each released on bail of $100,000 cash and $900,000 third-party surety, pending further inquiries.

The provisional liquidator, Nelson Wheeler Corporate Reconstruction and Insolvency managing director Nick Hill, said liquidators were seeking interviews with the Mui brothers.

'We've lots of questions to ask,' he said.
