On the 100th day of the CHC trial, the prosecution’s case becomes clearer. One of its key points is that it thinks the bonds were sham because the accused never believed the bonds could be redeemed.

今日审讯延续，由检方继续盘问教会前基金经理周英汉——他坚持他所建构的债券合法，审计师同样对此知情。

Court proceedings resumed today with the prosecution’s cross-examination of former church fund manager Chew Eng Han, who maintains the legality of the bonds he constructed and the auditors’ knowledge of it.

庭上证据显示思创刚发行债券时就已签署法律文件；延后债券到期日是因专辑发行日期延误，而不是因债券欠缺真实的法律责任。

The court heard that legal documents were signed at the inception of Xtron bonds; extension of bond maturity dates was not due to absence of genuine legal obligations but the delay of album launch.

周英汉宣称他在思创债券事宜扮演的角色为“投资顾问”而非“投资经理”。检方也控诉他滥用AMAC在CHC投资上所拥有的自行斟酌权。

周英汉称他在一些事宜上参与甚少，但其庭上证词显露他扮演的角色或许比他所称的更重大。

Chew Eng Han’s testimony in court showed his role could have been bigger in matters he has claimed little involvement in.

周英汉证实，审计师冯道清“教导”被告正当合法的做事方法，但同时又可达到教会欲保持低调的目的。
