Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai Chee-ying was convicted of fraud on October 25, 2022, in connection with an office lease case. Lai was found guilty of concealing a private consultancy firm that was operating from the Apple Daily headquarters without the proper licences from April 1988 to May 2020. Next Digital’s former chief administration officer Wong Wai-keung also faces one count of the offence for his alleged role in the matter. Lai is currently serving a 20-month jail term relating to four unauthorised assemblies, and is awaiting the start of a collusion trial under the Beijing-decreed national security law.
