China’s ‘Fragrance Queen’ Released on Bail While Police Investigation Continues

A wealthy business woman under police detention since the beginning of this year has been released on bail, as authorities transferred police surveillance on her from one jurisdiction to another, according to a company filing.

Zhu Linyao, known as China’s “fragrance queen” and founder of the largest flavor-maker, Huabao International Holdings Ltd., is currently under “residential surveillance at a designated residence” by the police in Anyuan county, Jiangxi province, according to the Tuesday statement.
