本澳男子藉高息存款詐騙被捕
2021年7月24日,本局接獲路氹城區某娛樂場通知,一名內地男子未能提取其存放在場內某貴賓廳的款項,要求本局協助,但本局人員在現場處理事件期間,該名男子卻聲稱已與上述貴賓廳達成取款協議,毋須警方協助。直到7月29日,本局再接獲兩名內地男子報稱無法取回存放在上述貴賓廳的款項,且發現貴賓廳已結業,兩人分別報稱損失30萬及45萬港元。
經調查發現,涉案貴賓廳於2021年5月與另一貴賓廳簽訂合作協議,在對方經營範圍內以俗稱“櫃桶”的方式營運;涉案貴賓廳以每日8%至1.8%利率來誘使客人存款,最終捲走全部款項,涉及客戶超過180個,金額約5,080萬港元。
本局於7月29日採取行動,拘捕涉案貴賓廳其中一名本澳男股東,其負責與貴賓廳簽訂合作協議及管理“櫃桶”之日常運作。本局以詐騙(相當巨額)罪及犯罪集團罪將涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦,並追查其他涉案人及贓款的下落。
Local man nabbed for high-yield deposit scam
The Judiciary Police was notified by a casino in Cotai district on 24th July 2021 that a mainland man was unable to withdraw the funds which he deposited at its VIP junket. Hence, he requested for the assistance of the Judiciary Police. Nevertheless, when the Judiciary Police personnel was handling the incident at the scene, the man claimed that he had already reached a withdrawal agreement with the aforementioned VIP junket and did not need assistance from the police. It was until July 29th that the Judiciary Police received reports again from two mainland men that they were unable to withdraw the funds that were deposited at the same VIP junket. It was also discovered that the VIP junket had already closed down. The duo reported losses of HKD300,000 and HKD450,000 respectively.
Upon investigation, it was revealed that the involved VIP junket had signed a cooperation agreement with another VIP junket in May 2021 so that they could do business by the “cashier counter” method within the operating area of the latter. The involved VIP junket had been luring clients to deposit funds with a daily interest rate ranging from 1.8% to 8% until they absconded with all the funds in the end. Over 180 clients and an amount of around HKD50.8 million were involved.
The Judiciary Police took action on July 29th, arresting one of the male local shareholders of the involved VIP junket, who was responsible for signing the cooperation agreement with the VIP junket, as well as managing the daily operations of the “cashier counter”. The Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charges of fraud (considerably huge amount) and criminal syndicate, while pursuing the other involved persons and the whereabouts of the illicit proceeds.
Detido um residente local por burla de depósitos de juros elevados
Em 24 de Julho de 2021, a PJ recebeu informação de um casino do COTAI indicando que um homem da China continental não conseguia levantar o seu dinheiro depositado numa sala VIP instalada naquele casino, e pediu intervenção da PJ. Contudo, quando os agentes da PJ estiveram a investigar o caso no local, o indivíduo disse que tinha chegado já a acordo com a dita sala VIP e, por isso, não se verificou necessidade da intervenção policial. Entretanto, até 29 de Julho, a PJ recebeu novamente queixa de outros dois homens da China continental também por não conseguirem obter o dinheiro depositado na mesma sala VIP e terem verificado que a mesma estava fechada; um declarou ter sofrido um prejuízo de 300 mil e, o outro, 450 mil HK$.
Apurou-se que a sala VIP envolvida, em Maio de 2021, assinou, com uma outra sala VIP, um acordo de cooperação no qual se adoptava uma operação duma forma vulgarmente conhecida por “gaveta”. A sala envolvida convencia os clientes a depositar dinheiro argumentando que esse depósito lhes poderia render 8%-1,8% de juros diariamente. Todo o dinheiro depositado por mais de 180 clientes acabou por ser furtado e o valor envolvido totaliza cerca de 50,8 milhões de HKD.
A PJ entrou em acção em 29 de Julho e deteve um dos sócios da dita sala VIP que se responsabiliza pela assinatura de acordo de cooperação com outras salas VIP e pela gestão do funcionamento da “gaveta”. O detido foi presente ao MP por burla qualificada e associação criminosa. A PJ continua a procurar os outros cúmplices e o dinheiro furtado.
