A woman from the mainland and a local couple have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a fake employment case, Public Security Police (PSP) spokeswoman Kong Chi Ian said during a regular press conference yesterday.
Kong said that the mainland woman surnamed Wang is in her fifties, while the local man is surnamed Tang and his wife is surnamed Tin. Both Tang and Tin are in their sixties. In 2023, Tin got to know Wang at a casino. Wang, hoping to frequently come to Macau and gamble, convinced Tin to ask Tang to hire her as their domestic helper.
Wang was arrested by the Judiciary Police (PJ) for illegal currency exchange activities on Friday and subsequently transferred to the Public Security Police, who then discovered Wang’s fake employment.
The couple were arrested later. The investigation revealed that Wang gave HK$60,000 to Tin, who then persuaded Tang to hire her. Tang told the police that he received HK$40,000 from his wife.
The three suspects have been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP), all facing charges of involvement in arranging fake employment, according to Kong. Wang is also facing illegal currency exchange charges.
