The Judiciary Police (PJ) have arrested a mainlander allegedly involved in a loan-sharking case who forced a defaulting borrower to pose in the nude for photos and a video to blackmail him into paying up, PJ spokesman Ho Chan Nam said yesterday at a regular press conference.
According to Ho, the suspect is a 32-year-old man from the mainland surnamed Chen. He told the police that he is unemployed. Other suspects were still at large at the time of the press conference, Ho said.
In October last year, the victim was introduced to the other suspects through Chen and he borrowed HK$100,000 from them to gamble. The deal was that the borrower would pay 10 percent as “interest” for every winning bet.
