Hong Kong’s anti-graft agency will investigate its former head amid allegations of corrupt practices and misconduct after he spent more than $100,000 on gifts and travel during his term.

Timothy Tong, who headed the Independent Commission Against Corruption from 2007 to 2012, will be investigated by Simon Peh, who succeeded him in July, the agency said. It’s the first publicly announced probe of a current or former head since the ICAC was founded in 1974.
