Hong Kong anti-graft agency drops case against Canto-pop star Anthony Wong in favour of bind-over order


Hong Kong pop singer Anthony Wong Yiu-ming has been spared a criminal record after the city’s graft-buster agreed to end its prosecution of his alleged inducement of others to vote for a Legislative Council candidate three years ago in favour of a bind-over order.

Wong, 59, from the Canto-pop duo Tat Ming Pair, appeared in Eastern Court on Thursday alongside jailed former lawmaker Au Nok-hin, 34, three days after they were charged with engaging in corrupt conduct by providing others with entertainment at an election.
