Tony Chan released on HK$5m bail
(02-05 12:29)
Police said they had released a feng shui master suspected of forgery in his failed claim on the estate of late billionaire Nina Wang, once Asia's richest woman.
Tony Chan, 50, Wang's former lover and spiritual adviser, spent more than a day in custody before his release early today on bail of HK$5 million, a police spokesman said.
Chan, who has not been charged, must report back to police in mid-March while the investigation continues, the spokesman added.
On Tuesday, the High Court rejected Chan's bid to inherit Wang's estimated HK$100 billion property empire, ruling he had forged the eccentric tycoon's signature on a 2006 will.
Police arrested Chan on Wednesday evening following a search of his luxury home in the upmarket Peak district.
Famous for her outlandish dress and thrifty nature, Wang died in 2007 at the age of 69.
Her husband Teddy, whose body has never been found, was abducted in 1990 and declared legally dead in 1999.
