The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested 30 men and women from the mainland at Galaxy Macau in Cotai yesterday for illegally engaging in currency-exchange activities, PJ spokesman Choi Ian Fai said yesterday.
Choi briefed the media yesterday evening at Galaxy Macau after PJ officers continued their action to combat unlicensed money-changing activities on the premises or margins of local casinos.
According to previous news reports, scores of illegal money changers walk around casinos asking gamblers if they want to exchange currency, mostly yuan and Hong Kong dollars, offering them seemingly attractive exchange rates.
