五男女涉詐騙2,700萬元就逮
自2021年6月下旬起,本局先後接獲多人報案,稱被人以高息回報為由詐騙2,718萬港元,經綜合調查發現某娛樂場一間貴賓廳以每月2%至20%利率來利誘客人存款或入股該貴賓廳,各事主最初均收到利息,但其後則連存款也無法取回。本局鎖定相關涉案人,於7月3日及8日先後拘捕上述貴賓廳的負責人、帳房經理、財務會計及職員合共四人並移送檢察院偵辦。
本局其後深入調查案件,發現還有另外兩個貴賓廳涉案,涉及同一犯罪集團,並查悉上述三個貴賓廳並非正式的貴賓廳,只是向其他貴賓廳租用櫃台營運,以高息回報進行詐騙。
直至7月22日,一名香港女子向本局報稱被上述其中一個貴賓廳詐騙6,700萬港元,但本局查悉該女子實為該貴賓廳其中一名股東,其與本案有關,為了逃避刑責而到本局報案。本局以犯罪集團罪及詐騙(相當巨額)罪將涉案香港女子移送檢察院處理,並追查贓款下落及其他涉案人。
Five individuals arrested for defrauding of $27 million
The Judiciary Police received reports from several persons successively since the end of June 2021, claiming that someone had used high interest return as an excuse to defraud them out of HKD27.18million. Subsequent to integrative investigation, it was revealed that a VIP junket of a casino had been offering a monthly interest rate of 2% to 20% to lure customers to deposit or invest in the VIP junket. All victims did receive interest at the early stages but in the end they could not even get back their deposits. The Judiciary Police identified the involved persons and arrested a total of four persons of the abovementioned VIP junket including the responsible person, cashier manager, financial accountant and an employee on July 3rd and 8th respectively, who were then transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office for investigation.
Later on, the Judiciary Police conducted in-depth investigation, and noticed that two more VIP junkets were involved and were related to the same criminal syndicate. It was also revealed that the three abovementioned VIP junkets were not official but simply operating by renting counters at other VIP junkets while using high interest return to commit fraud.
Until July 22nd, a Hong Kong woman reported to the Judiciary Police that she had been defrauded of HKD67 million by one of the abovementioned VIP junkets, yet the Judiciary Police found out that she was actually one of the shareholders of that VIP junket and was involved in this case. She had only reported to the Judiciary Police so as to evade criminal liability. The Judiciary Police transferred the involved Hong Kong woman to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charges of criminal syndicate and fraud (considerably huge amount) while pursuing the whereabouts of the illicit proceeds and other involved persons.
Detidos 5 indivíduos por burla, no valor de 27 milhões de HKD
Desde o final de Junho de 2021, a PJ recebeu denúncias de várias pessoas, dizendo que alguém as tinha burlado, com o pretexto de investimento com juros elevados, no total, em 27,18 milhões de HKD. Na investigação sintéctica, verificou-se que uma sala VIP de um casino utilizou uma taxa de juro entre 2% e 20% por mês para aliciar os clientes a depositarem algum dinheiro ou investirem naquela sala VIP. No início, todos os denunciantes conseguiram receber os juros, mas depois, não conseguiram recuperar os seus depósitos. Os nossos agentes identificaram os indivíduos que estavam envolvidos neste caso, e nos dias 3 e 8 de Julho, foram detidos 4 indivíduos, sendo eles o responsável daquela sala VIP, o gerente da tesouraria, um contabilista financeiro e um funcionário, os quais foram todos presentes ao MP.
Durante a investigação, apurou-se ainda que outras duas salas VIP estavam envolvidas neste caso e na mesma organização criminosa, tendo-se verificado que, as três salas VIP em causa agiram de modo informal e alugaram os balcões de outras salas VIP para praticar burlas através de investimentos com juros elevados.
No dia 22 de Julho, uma mulher de Hong Kong fez denúncia à PJ dizendo que uma das salas VIP a tinha burlado em 67 milhões de HKD mas, contudo, a PJ verificou que a mulher, de facto, era uma dos sócios daquela sala VIP, e fez queixa na PJ para escapar à responsabilidade criminal. Esta foi presente ao MP por associação criminosa e burla (valor consideravelmente elevado). A PJ continua a investigar o paradeiro do dinheiro burlado e de outros eventuais envolvidos.
