There was more bad news for Carson Yeung yesterday as a writ was filed in the High Court by Hansom Finance Limited to recover HK$2.32million (approx £180,000) from him after Carson defaulted on a debt from April 2013.

Apple Daily reports that Carson was due to repay the loan within three months but as of last July he had only paid back HK$120,000 despite repeated demands. With Carson now having been imprisoned for six years on five counts of money laundering the finance company have filed a writ to recover the remainder of the money owed plus interest.

Carson resigned from all posts at BIH and BCFC on February 4, 2014 but remains the largest single shareholder in the holding company.
