Five men arrested for defrauding a casino through chip exchange
On 13th March 2019, the Judiciary Police received a report from a casino in the NAPE district, indicating that a dealer had conspired with others to defraud the casino through chip exchange when he was on duty.
After an in-depth investigation, the Judiciary Police found that a criminal syndicate was involved in the case. The mastermind was a former surveillance operator of the casino. He assigned his accomplices to play the roles of casino patrons and requested to change a “HKD10,000 chip” into ten “HKD1,000 chips” at the gaming table that the aforesaid dealer was on duty. The involved dealer gave out ten “HKD10,000 chips” instead. During the course, the accomplice who was a current surveillance operator covered their acts.
The Judiciary Police identified several involved persons and took actions on March 14th. Five involved men were arrested at Areia Preta and the abovementioned casino respectively. Cash of HKD300,000, chips of HKD20,000, 7 luxury watches and 9 mobile phones were seized from the residences of the involved individuals and inside their cars. According to the investigation, the involved criminal syndicate had been operating since January 2019, and had perpetrated crimes for at least 20 times, along with proceeds of crime exceeding HKD2.5 million. The Judiciary Police transferred the five involved men to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offences of criminal syndicate and work-related embezzlement, while continuing to pursue the whereabouts of the remaining involved accomplices.
Detidos 5 homens acusados de burlar um casino através da troca de fichas
A PJ recebeu, em 13 de Março de 2019, uma denúncia de um casino da zona do ZAPE, indicando ter sido alvo de uma burla por parte de um croupier, que tinha actuado recorrendo à troca de fichas, durante as horas de serviço e em conluio com outras pessoas.
Na investigação, descobriu-se o envolvimento de um grupo criminoso, cujo cabecilha é ex-supervisor do casino, que mandava os seus cúmplices para fingirem ser jogadores e pedirem, na mesa de jogo onde aquele croupier trabalhava, para trocar uma ficha no valor de 10.000 HK$ em 10 fichas de 1.000 HK$. O suspeito assim o fez, sendo que um outro cúmplice (o ex supervisor) cobria todo o procedimento.
A PJ conseguiu identificar vários indivíduos e no dia 14 de Março entrou em acção, na qual foram detidos 5 homens na Areia Preta e no referido casino e foram apreendidos, nas viaturas e nas residências deles, 300.000 HK$ em numerário, fichas no valor de 20.000 HK$, 7 relógios de marca e 9 telemóveis. Segundo a investigação, aquela rede criminosa começou a funcionar em Janeiro de 2019 e actuou em pelo menos 20 ocasiões, tendo o rendimento ilícito ultrapassado 2.5 milhões HK$. Os 5 detidos foram presentes ao MP por associação criminosa e peculato. A PJ continua à procura do paradeiro dos demais cúmplices.
