© 2011 wheresjenny.com Hong Kong Hong Kong tycoon faces Macau corruption trial  A Hong Kong tycoon is facing prosecution for alleged bribery and money laundering in connection with a government land sale on the Cotai casino strip in Macau, his company said.  In the latest corruption scandal to hit Hong Kong's business elite, Chinese Estates Holdings said its chief executive Joseph Lau denied attempting to bribe a jailed former senior official over the land tender.  Lau, 61, is ranked fifth on Forbes magazine's list of richest people in Hong Kong, Asia's banking and financial centre, with a fortune estimated at $6.5 billion.  Lau denied the allegations at Ao's trial in April. The former official is already serving a jail sentence for accepting bribes to approve projects.  He has been accused of helping companies run by Lau and businessman Steven Lo to win a government tender for five plots near Macau International Airport.  "It is quite certain the court case would hurt the reputation of Chinese Estates, putting pressure on the share price," Core-Pacific Yamaichi International analyst Castor Pang told Dow Jones Newswires.  Shares in Chinese Estates Holdings fell 7.43 percent to HK$9.09 on Friday, following a suspension the previous day pending the company's announcement on the Macau case.
