The Judiciary Police (PJ) have arrested 113 men and women in a single loan-sharking case involving at least HK$70 million, making it the biggest crime ever in Macau in terms of the number of suspects.
The Judiciary Police held a press conference yesterday at the PJ headquarters in Zape to announce the details of the mega-case. The arrests took place on Tuesday.
According to PJ spokesman Lai Man Vai, the 113 suspects comprise 83 men and 30 women. The suspects include a 46-year-old man from Hong Kong surnamed Lee, who is the alleged kingpin of the gang, a 54-year-old unemployed local man surnamed Leong, who was the gang’s “treasurer”, and a 39-year-old female nurse from Hong Kong.
Exhibits seized during Tuesday’s operation are displayed in a pressroom at the PJ headquarters in Zape yesterday.
