CHINESE businessman Yang Tengbo has said allegations he is a spy are “entirely untrue” after he waived his right to anonymity today.

The 50-year-old, previously known as H6, is said to have become a “close” confidant of the Duke of York and has also been pictured with senior politicians including former prime ministers Lord Cameron and Baroness May.

At an urgent High Court hearing today, lawyers for Mr Tengbo, also known as Chris Yang, said that the businessman was not seeking to maintain anonymity.
