China ordered one of its top actresses and her associated companies to pay about 884 million yuan ($129 million) in taxes and fines, capping a months-long tax evasion probe
that shook the nation’s blossoming entertainment industry.
Fan Bingbing was personally fined about $70 million, with the remainder involving back taxes and fines against companies affiliated with the star, reports said. In the first post in months on her Weibo social media account, Fan, 37, said she was deeply ashamed of her crimes and apologised to tax authorities and the public.
