HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong judge on Friday jailed for 12 years a former lover of late billionaire tycoon Nina Wang, for forging a will naming him the sole beneficiary of her estate, one of Asia's largest fortunes, estimated at $4 billion (2.6 billion pounds).

Justice Andrew Macrae handed down the sentence to Peter Chan, formerly known as Tony Chan, in the city's High Court a day after a jury found him guilty on charges of forgery and using a forged document. Chan had pleaded not guilty to a number of charges.
