偵破跨境洗黑錢集團 拘八名男子
本局早前接獲情報,指有犯罪集團透過刷卡方式在澳門購買貴價的電子或音響設備,再將之轉售套現來達到清洗黑錢目的。調查期間,本局先後接獲兩間手機店舉報,指有人以刷卡方式購買總值67.8萬元的手機,但其後收到銀行通知,指有關交易因買家使用銀行卡的資金來源涉及詐騙犯罪而被凍結,手機店蒙受損失而報警求助。
本局結合調查所得,發現該犯罪集團由本澳及內地居民組成,集團成員使用收取騙款的銀行卡在澳門購買電子產品並轉售套現,從而達到清洗黑錢的目的;集團亦利用本澳一間車行作為隱藏及處理贓物的窩點,以逃避警方追查。據查,該犯罪集團至少詐騙四間手機店合共109部手機,涉案金額約119萬澳門元。
2022年3月1日,本局採取行動,分別於關閘及橫琴口岸、以及本澳多個地點截獲八名涉案集團成員,並在用作集團窩點的一家車行內搜獲大量涉案物品,包括銀行卡、手機及大量高級音響設備等。本局以犯罪集團、詐騙、清洗黑錢等三罪將八名涉案男子送交檢察院偵辦,並追緝其他涉案人。
Cross-border money laundering syndicate busted with eight men arrested
The Judiciary Police received intelligence some time ago, indicating that a criminal syndicate had purchased pricey electronic or audio equipment in Macao by means of card-swiping, with which they resold for cash to serve the purpose of money laundering. During the investigation, the Judiciary Police received reports from two mobile phone shops successively, alleging that mobile phones with a total value of MOP678,000 had been purchased by means of card-swiping, yet they later received a notification from the banks that the related transactions were frozen since the source of funds for the bank cards used by the purchasers had been involved in crimes of fraud. As such, the mobile phone shops suffered losses and reported to the police for assistance.
Having consolidated the investigation results, the Judiciary Police found that the criminal syndicate was comprised of residents from Macao and Mainland. Members of the syndicate used bank cards that had received fraudulent funds to purchase electronic products in Macao and resold them for cash, thereby achieving the purpose of money laundering. The syndicate also used a vehicle dealership in Macao as a den to hide and handle booty in order to evade police investigation. According to the investigation, the criminal syndicate had defrauded at least four mobile phone shops of a total of 109 mobile phones, involving a sum of approximately MOP1.19 million.
On 1st March 2022, the Judiciary Police took action and intercepted eight involved members of the syndicate respectively at the Border Gate Checkpoint, Hengqin Checkpoint and various locations in Macao, seizing a raft of involved items including bank cards, mobile phones and scores of advanced audio equipment inside a vehicle dealership used as a den of the syndicate. The Judiciary Police transferred the eight involved men to the Public Prosecutions Office for three offences including criminal syndicate, fraud and money laundering, while pursuing other involved individuals.
Resolvido um caso de branqueamento de capitais transfronteiriço e detidos 8 homens
A PJ recebeu informações que indicavam que uma rede criminosa estaria a utilizar cartões bancários para comprar equipamento electrónico ou de áudio de luxo em Macau e vendê-lo depois para riciclar dinheiro. Durante a investigação, a PJ recebeu as denúncias de duas lojas de telemóveis, que diziam que alguém tinha comprado telemóveis com cartões bancários, no valor de 678.000 patacas, mas mais tarde, receberam a notificação dos bancos dizendo que as transacções tinham sido congeladas porque os fundos dos cartões bancários usados pelos compradores estavam envolvidos em casos de burla, assim, as lojas em causa sofreram prejuízo e fizeram queixa na PJ.
De acordo com as provas obtidas na investigação, aquela organização era composta por residentes de Macau e da China continental. Os seus elementos compravam produtos electrónicos em Macau com os cartões bancários que eram usados para receber o dinheiro burlado, e vendiam-nos depois para riciclar o dinheiro. A organização utilizou uma garagem de Macau para esconder e lidar com os objectos envolvidos, de modo a escapar da investigação. Apurou-se que aquele grupo burlou pelo menos quatro lojas de telemóveis, no total, 109 telemóveis, que envolveu cerca de 1,19 milhões de patacas.
Em 1 de Março de 2022, a PJ entrou em acção, foram detidos 8 elementos da rede no Posto Fronteiriço das Portas do Cerco, Posto Fronteiriço Hengquin e vários locais em Macau, bem como naquela garagem foi apreendida uma grande quantidade de objectos envolvidos incluindo cartões bancários, telemóveis e muitos aparelhos de áudio de alta qualidade. Os 8 detidos foram presentes ao MP por associação criminosa, burla e branqueamento de capitais. A PJ continua à procura de outros eventuais envolvidos.
