A residence belonging to Huang Youlong, husband of mainland actress Zhao Wei, has reportedly been sold by the couple's driver.
The driver allegedly posed as Huang, a businessman in the finance and catering industry, and duped a public notary's facial recognition system into registering him as the man.
As a result, Huang now faces a court case brought by the buyer of the property, after the couple refused to vacate the premises, the People's Court Daily reported yesterday.
Zhao's fame on the mainland has been likened by that of leading Hollywood actresses such as Drew Barrymore.
The case was filed in a court in Beijing's Chaoyang district.
According to the newspaper, Huang's driver, posing as his employer, managed to pass the check by a facial recognition system at the local notary office before securing a legal document required for property deals.
The driver then entrusted the sale of the apartment to another person, the paper said.
A real estate lawyer said the story was "unbelievable" as complex legal procedures prevent fraud during the sale of a property, including verifications of one's identity and signature.
"You have to have all the steps fail, and all the people blind, to make this happen," said the lawyer, who requested anonymity.
Huang did not realise his property had been sold until the buyer came to demand that the couple vacate the apartment. The case will be heard tomorrow.
