Tycoon Albert Yeung Sau-shing has had plenty of high-profile brushes with the law - as victim, suspect and litigant.
He is chairman of the vast Emperor Group, which employs more than 5,000 people in entertainment, property, finance and catering.
He was kidnapped in Central in April 1989, has been arrested, and has had his business properties vandalised many times. Police have raided a disco at his Emperor Byron Hotel in Happy Valley more than once.
His family also has been in the spotlight.
His son, Gilbert, was accused of assaulting a banker in Lan Kwai Fong in 1997 and was bound over after the prosecution offered no evidence against him.
In 2000, Gilbert Yeung was caught in possession of drugs at a rave party and fined $7,000.
Early this year his sexual exploits made the cover of Eastweek magazine, owned by his father.
