A former executive at JPMorgan pleaded not guilty to bribery charges in a Hong Kong court on July 18, after prosecutors alleged she persuaded her colleagues to hire the son of a potential client.

Catherine Leung Kar-cheung, a former vice chairwoman of JPMorgan’s Asia-Pacific investment banking business, was charged in May with two counts of bribery. An eight-day trial has been scheduled for February 2020, and will include 10 witnesses.
