China Sentences Evergrande Founder Hui Ka Yan to Life in Prison
The court also fined Evergrande 8.82 billion yuan and ordered the confiscation of Hui Ka Yan’s personal property after finding large-scale fraud.
- On Thursday, the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court sentenced China Evergrande Group founder Hui Ka Yan to life in prison and ordered confiscation of all his personal property.
- Evergrande, once China's premier developer, has defaulted since 2021 on most of its $300 billion in liabilities, emblematic of a prolonged crisis in the country's property sector.
- The court also fined Evergrande 8.82 billion yuan and its subsidiary Hengda Real Estate 7 billion yuan, sentencing five other senior executives to prison terms ranging from six to 18 years.
- Hui pleaded guilty in April to eight charges including misuse of funds, fundraising fraud, and illegally taking public deposits, preceding the final sentencing.
- State media CCTV reported the sentence as part of a broader crackdown on financial misconduct, as Evergrande's collapse has long dragged on the world's second-biggest economy.
