The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested a local woman on Wednesday for money laundering after she allowed a man to use her account to deposit money that he had received from another local woman – the scam victim – in an online love scam, PJ spokesman Lai Man Vai said during a special press conference yesterday.
Lai identified the suspect as a 22-year-old sales assistant surnamed Che.
Che’s arrest came after the other woman reported to the police that she had been cheated out of 1.2 million patacas by a man whom she had met online.
