Court to rule on City Harvest case
After a 140-day trial, the verdict on the City Harvest Church case will be out on Wednesday (Oct 21).
The saga began in 2002, with a pop singer's music ambitions and a church's desire to spread the Gospel. A decade later, six former and current City Harvest Church leaders were arrested to face varying charges of criminal breach of trust and falsifying accounts. They are accused of misappropriating and misusing church funds. In total, $50 million was allegedly misused. - DANSON CHEONG
