HONG KONG (Reuters) - Birmingham City Football Club boss Carson Yeung was found guilty by a Hong Kong court on Monday of five counts of money-laundering in a high-profile trial that cast a spotlight on how the barber-turned-businessman made his fortune.
Yeung, who had denied the charges of laundering $93 million (55 million pounds) between January 2001 and December 2007, will be sentenced on Friday. He faces up to seven years in jail.
