A director of a New Zealand firm allegedly linked to arms traffickers reappeared in court yesterday.

Lu Zhang, 28, is accused of 75 offences of making false statements in company registration forms.

She was charged after a planeload of weapons, including rockets and grenades, from North Korea bound for Iran was seized in Bangkok last year.

The aircraft was allegedly hired by SP Trading, which listed Zhang as a director, according to the Companies Office. She was remanded on bail until November 8.
