Inter president Steven Zhang will have to go to court twice in Hong Kong in the coming months as China Construction Bank look to recover €300m in debts.
Calciomercato.com details how the Nerazzurri president was the subject of a hearing in Hong Kong this morning, which he didn’t attend due to Inter’s Champions League clash with Porto tomorrow. Whilst his presence wasn’t necessary, the next steps have now been undertaken.
Two court dates have been set for Zhang in Hong Kong, with the first on April 24 and the second on May 10. The Chinese businessman will have to stand before a judge for a ‘debtor examination’.
The Inter president will be interrogated over any debts he has, how much he owes and what assets or other means he has to fulfil them, with China Construction Bank looking to be repaid around €300m.
Whilst Zhang technically risks up to three months in prison, the sentence would likely be converted into a fine.
