HONG KONG: Former Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang was sentenced to 20 months in prison on Wednesday after a high-profile corruption trial found him guilty of misconduct during his time at the helm of the city. Tsang’s four decades of service to Hong Kong was “indisputable,” but his breach of trust was “significant,” Chan told the court packed with reporters and Tsang’s relatives. Tsang’s family, including his two sons and wife, looked visibly upset as they exited the court house. My family and I feel very disappointed and sad regarding today’s decision by the court,” his wife, Selina, arm-in-arm with her two sons, told reporters. His former deputy Rafael Hui was jailed for seven-and-a-half years in 2014 after being found guilty of taking bribes from Hong Kong property tycoon Thomas Kwok.
