It looks like Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu’s mother-in-law, Chinese entrepreneur Zhang Lan, may not be able to escape doing time behind bars after all.
In 2019, the 62-year-old founder of restaurant chain South Beauty Group was sentenced to a year in prison after failing to comply with a court order to declare HK$500,000 (S$85,600) worth of assets following a messy legal dispute with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners.
