HONG KONG -- The anti-graft agency in Hong Kong dropped corruption charges against pop singer Anthony Wong Yiu-ming on Thursday, contingent upon an 18-month arrangement under which the star must "maintain good behavior."
A prosecutor representing the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) told the city's Eastern Court that it had agreed to settle the case with a "bind-over" surety of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars ($257), given the "minor nature" of the matter and Wong's previously clean criminal record.
