Five mainland individuals nabbed for involvement in using counterfeit chips
Late night on 18th November 2023, the Judiciary Police received a report, indicating that 24 counterfeit chips with the denomination of HKD50,000 had been found during a routine check of a casino in the Cotai district. A loss of HKD1.2 million was reported. The Gaming-related Crimes Division mobilized personnel to follow up with the investigation.
Personnel of the Judiciary Police learnt from investigation that, several individuals entered the casino during the time of the crime. Some of them used counterfeit chips for betting and exchanged chips for cash at the betting table, whilst the remaining acted as commanders and lookouts inside the casino. On November 18th and 19th, together with security guards of the casino, the Judiciary Police nabbed five involved mainland individuals inside the involved casino, other relevant hotel lobbies and guest rooms respectively, as well as seizing real chips valued at HKD1.08 million.
All five involved mainland individuals denied to be involved in the case. Four of the individuals claimed that they had been instructed by others to carry the 24 counterfeit chips of the case with them to the involved casino for exchange. Upon completion of the task, each of them would be rewarded with HKD10,000. They added that they had no idea that the batch of chips were counterfeit chips. Another involved man claimed that he had only entered the casino with two of the involved men, and denied to know anything about the case.
Based on the investigative findings from integrated investigations, there were strong indications showing that the five involved mainland individuals had committed the crime. Thus, the Judiciary Police transferred them to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offences of criminal syndicate and fraud (considerably huge amount), while continuing to pursue other involved individuals.
Detidos cinco indivíduos do continente por o uso de fichas falsas
Na noite de 18 de Novembro de 2023, recebemos a denúncia de um casino do COTAI que encontrou 24 fichas falsas, com valor facial de 50.000 HKD, durante a verificação rotineira, o prejuízo sofrido foi de 1,2 milhões de HKD. A Divisão de Investigação de Crimes Relacionados com o Jogo enviou pessoal para acompanhar o caso.
Verificou-se que alguns indivíduos entraram no casino na altura da ocorrência do crime, entre eles, alguns tinham usado fichas falsas para apostar e trocar dinheiro, enquanto os outros davam indicações e vigiavam o local. Em 18 e 19 de Novembro, o pessoal da PJ e os guardas de segurança do casino conseguiram deter cinco suspeitos (entre eles uma mulher), no casino e nos átrios e quartos de outros hotéis e, durante a operação, foram apreendidas 1,08 milhões de HKD de fichas verdadeiras.
Os cinco suspeitos negaram o seu envolvimento no crime, quatro deles disseram que receberam indicações de terceiros para levar as 24 fichas falsas para o casino e trocá-las por dinheiro, que depois poderiam receber 10.000 HKD. Além disso, disseram que não sabiam que as fichas eram falsas. O outro suspeito disse que apenas entrou no casino com os outros dois suspeitos e não sabia nada sobre o ocorrido.
Conforme os resultados de investigação, existem fortes indícios de que os cinco suspeitos cometeram o crime, pelo que foram presentes ao MP pelos crimes de associação criminosa e burla (valor consideravelmente elevado). A PJ continua à procura de outros envolvidos.
