Ex-Hong Kong official jailed three years for FCPA offenses, money laundering

Hong Kong’s former home secretary was sentenced to three years in prison Monday for bribing African officials on behalf of a Chinese energy company.

Patrick Ho, 69, was also ordered to pay a $400,000 fine, the DOJ said.

In December, Ho was found guilty after a one-week trial in the Southern District of New York.
