2015 kidnap
In April 2015, a criminal gang kidnapped Queenie Rosita Law, granddaughter of late Bossini founder Law Ting-pong and heiress to the family fortune, and held her hostage in a cave for four days, until her father paid a ransom of HK$28 million, whereupon she was freed. Later, the vast majority of the money was recovered, and all of the nine men police believe to have been involved were captured and tried.
