Factbox: history of the case against Hong Kong tycoons
Ao Man-long, former secretary for transport and public works in Macau, jailed for 27 years for taking HK$800 million in bribes. His sentence was extended to 28 1/2 years in 2009 for further bribery offences.
Macau's Court of Final Appeal names Joseph Lau Luen-hung, chairman of Chinese Estates Holdings, and Steven Lo Kit-sing, chairman of BMA Investment, as being linked to the Ao corruption case.
Ao denies receiving HK$20 million in bribes from Lau and Lo in 2005.
Chinese Estates Holdings issues statement saying "Mr Lau strenuously denies the allegations levelled against him", adding he would continue as executive director of the company.
Lau and Lo charged with bribery and money laundering.
Lau ordered by Macau's Court of First Instance to appear for trial on 17 September.
Macau's chief executive Fernando Chui Sai-on invalidates sale of five plots of land near Macau airport.
Chinese Estates Holdings says it is determined to pursue compensation from the Macau government and the original owners of the five plots of land.
Case adjourned until January 7, 2013, due to Judge Alice Costa falling ill.
