Bossini heiress kidnappers 'outraged that ringleader ripped them off HK$18 million in ransom'

Six gangsters involved in the kidnapping of Bossini heiress Queenie Rosita Law became enraged when they found out from news reports that the amount they were supposed to share was HK$28 million, falling short of the HK$10 million their boss had given them, according to mainland Chinese media.

The alleged boss, surnamed You, and a gangster called Wang had lied to other gang members that they had only received HK$10 million from Law’s family, according to the website of Jiancharibao, a Chinese-language daily affiliated with the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.

The report said that on the afternoon of April 28, You and Wang collected the HK$28 million ransom in cash left at a remote hillside toilet on Kowloon’s Fei Ngo Shan.

Upon receiving the money, the duo then ordered the other six gangsters to release Wang, and at the same time stashed away HK$18 million at a secret location before returning to their base in Fei Ngo Shan.

Back at their hideout, You and Wang told the six that they had received a HK$10 million ransom. The duo then marked an unspecified share of the sum as “communal money” before splitting the remainder among gang members according to their positions and roles in the plot, the report said.

Later, You secretly took part of the concealed HK$18 million out and spent part of it.
