Donald Tsang, who completed his tenure as Hong Kong’s No. 1 official in 2012, was charged with two counts of misconduct in public office, the anti-corruption bureau said.
One charge alleges that Tsang failed to disclose his negotiations to rent a property from a major shareholder of Wave Media Ltd., while the company was applying for licenses, the Independent Commission Against Corruption said Monday in a statement. The other charge relates to his nomination of an architect for “honours and awards,” without disclosing he had employed the person, it said.
