A former JPMorgan Asia investment banking vice-chair, Catherine Leung, pleaded not guilty to charges of bribery in a Hong Kong court on Thursday.
Leung was charged in May by Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption with bribing the then chairman of a potential client, a logistics company, by employing his son at the U.S. investment bank.
While Hong Kong's anti-corruption watchdog did not name the company or the chairman at the time, the prosecution in the Leung case said on Thursday that she had "offered advantages" to Keng-lam Ang, chairman of Kerry Logistics Network Ltd.
