The case is Hong Kong Special Administrative Region v Tsang Yam-kuen Donald, HCCC484/2015, Hong Kong High Court.
High Court Justice Andrew Chan said while handing down the punishment that Tsang, 72, had breached the trust of Hong Kong?s people.
Chan said the ?chief executive must be a person of integrity,? adding that the people of Hong Kong and China placed their trust on Tsang.
While Hong Kong routinely ranks among the world?s most corruption-free places in surveys, residents have long criticized the government for prioritizing business interests and exacerbating the city?s severe wealth gap.
Hong Kong?s former chief executive, Donald Tsang, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for misconduct in office, capping a stunning downfall for an official who helped steer the former British colony through its return to China.
