兩內地婦涉不法匯兌就逮
2026年2月23日，本局有組織罪案調查處及博彩罪案調查處共破獲兩宗經營為賭博的不法匯兌案件，拘捕兩名涉案內地女子。
當日本局人員分別於新口岸區一娛樂場周邊及路氹城區一娛樂場內進行針對不法匯兌的巡查打擊行動，期間發現兩名涉案女子向兩名客人提供轉帳資料，對方進行轉帳後，兩人隨即將港元現金及港元籌碼交給對方，其後雙方各自離開，客人在娛樂場內以上述現金及籌碼賭博。
基於有理由懷疑有人在娛樂場及其附屬設施內經營未獲批准的貨幣匯兌業務，故本局人員立即上前截查，在首名涉案女子身上檢獲與犯罪有關的30,000港元現金及1部手機，並在首名客人身上起回賭博剩餘的20,000港元籌碼；又在次名涉案女子身上檢獲16,000港元籌碼及1部手機，並在次名客人身上起回賭博剩餘的5,000港元籌碼。經查，兩名涉案女子分別自2025年及今年2月起在本澳娛樂場及周邊從事不法匯兌活動。
本局根據調查所得，以經營為賭博的不法匯兌罪將兩名涉案女子移送檢察院偵辦。
Two mainland women arrested for illegal currency exchange
On 23rd February 2026, the Organised Crime Division and the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police cracked a total of two cases of “operating illegal currency exchange for gambling”, arresting two involved mainland women.
On that day, the Judiciary Police officers were conducting anti-crime patrol operations respectively at the peripheries of a casino in ZAPE district and inside a casino in Cotai district, during which two women were found to have provided bank transfer information to two patrons. After the patrons made the transfers, the two women immediately handed over cash and chips in HKD, then they parted separately. The patrons used the aforementioned cash and chips to gamble inside the casinos.
Since it was reasonable to suspect that someone was operating unauthorised currency exchange business inside the affiliated facilities of casinos, the Judiciary Police officers forthwith intercepted the women. Crime-related HKD30,000 in cash and a mobile phone were seized from the first involved woman, while recovering from the first patron HKD20,000 worth of chips, which were left over from gambling. In addition, HKD16,000 in chips and a mobile phone were seized from the second involved woman, while recovering from the second patron HKD5,000 worth of chips, which were left over from gambling. Investigation revealed that the two involved women had been operating illegal currency exchange activities in Macao casinos and their peripheries since 2025 and February 2026 respectively.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the two involved women to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charge of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
