HONG KONG: Former Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang, the highest-ranking ex-official to be charged in the city’s history, was remanded in custody ahead of his sentencing later this week for misconduct in public office.

A nine-person jury had earlier found that Tsang failed to disclose private rental negotiations with property tycoon Bill Wong Cho-bau while his cabinet discussed and approved a digital broadcasting licence for a now defunct radio company, Wave Media, in which Wong was a major shareholder.
