Deceased Hong Kong billionaire’s ex-lover gets 12 years for forgery

HONG KONG – The former lover of quirky billionaire Nina Wang has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after a Hong Kong court found him guilty of forging her will to claim her multibillion-dollar estate.

A High Court judge Friday called Peter Chan “shameless” and “wicked” for taking advantage of Wang’s trust in him.

Wang died in 2007. She was once Asia’s richest woman.

Chan was convicted Thursday of forgery and using a false instrument.

He was charged after a Hong Kong court ruled a will purportedly leaving Wang’s estate to him was forged.

Chan is a former feng shui master who changed his named from Tony after converting recently to Christianity.
