HK publisher Jimmy Lai found guilty of fraud, while serving time for organizing protests

Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been found guilty of fraud involving the offices of his former newspaper Apple Daily.

The publication went under last year after Lai was charged under Beijing's 'National Security Law'.

Lai is serving time for 'organizing unauthorized assemblies' - and is seen as being punished for being involved in the pro-democracy movement two years ago.
