2026年5月11日，本局有組織罪案調查處以及博彩罪案調查處進行針對不法匯兌的巡查打擊行動，破獲兩宗經營為賭博的不法匯兌案件，合共拘捕兩名涉案內地男女。

第一宗案件

當日上午，本局有組織罪案調查處人員於新口岸區一娛樂場進行巡查，其間發現兩名男女形跡可疑。該名男子以手機掃碼及操作後，涉案內地女子取出數張港元現金交予對方。完成交易後雙方各自離開，隨後該名男子在娛樂場內將匯兌所得的港元現金兌換成籌碼進行賭博。

基於有理由懷疑有人在娛樂場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，在涉案內地女子身上檢獲與犯罪有關的4萬港元現金及一部手機，而該名男子經不法兌換所得的籌碼已全數輸清。經查，有證據顯示涉案內地女子自今年4月中旬起於本澳娛樂場內從事不法匯兌活動，至今合共賺取利潤約8,000元人民幣。當日，涉案內地女子以4,450元人民幣兌換為5,000港元予該名男子作賭博之用。

第二宗案件

同日上午，本局博彩罪案調查處人員於路氹城區一娛樂場發現涉案內地男子與一名男子進行不法匯兌，雙方協議以44,500元人民幣兌換5萬港元現金籌碼。完成交易後，涉案內地男子離開，另一名男子則在場內賭博。

基於有理由相信兩人正進行不法匯兌，故本局人員立即採取行動，將兩人截獲並帶返本局調查。經查，涉案內地男子自今年2月初開始在本澳娛樂場內經營不法匯兌，每兌換1萬港元可獲利約80港元，至今合共獲利約4萬港元。本局人員從其身上搜獲用作經營不法匯兌資金的10萬港元現金籌碼及一部手機。

Two mainland Chinese arrested for illegal currency exchange

During their patrol operations against illegal currency exchange on 11th May 2026, the Organised Crime Division and Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police busted two cases of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling, jointly arresting two involved mainland Chinese.

Case one

During their patrol at a casino in ZAPE that morning, the Organised Crime

Division officers of the Judiciary Police found a man and a woman acting suspiciously. After the man had scanned a code with and tapped on his mobile phone, the involved mainland Chinese woman handed several Hong Kong dollar bills to him. The duo parted ways after the transaction. The man then exchanged the Hong Kong dollars in cash into chips for gambling at the casino.

Owing to the reasonable suspicion that someone had engaged in unauthorised currency exchange business at a subsidiary facility of a casino, the Judiciary Police officers promptly intercepted the duo, seizing crime-related HKD 40,000 in cash and a mobile phone on the involved mainland Chinese woman; the man had gambled away all the chips illegally exchanged. Upon investigation, evidence indicated that the involved mainland Chinese woman had engaged in illegal currency exchange at Macao casinos since mid-April this year, earning a profit of a total of about RMB 8,000 to date. She had exchanged RMB 4,450 into HKD 5,000 for the man to gamble that day.

Case two

That morning, the Gaming-related Crimes Division officers of the Judiciary Police found the involved mainland Chinese man engaging in illegal currency exchange with a man at a casino in Cotai. The duo had agreed to exchange RMB 44,500 into HKD 50,000 in cash chips. After the transaction, the involved mainland Chinese man left first, while the other man gambled at the casino.

Based on justifiable grounds to believe that the duo had engaged in illegal currency exchange, the Judiciary Police officers promptly took action, intercepting and taking in the duo for investigation. The involved mainland Chinese man was found to have started engaging in illegal currency exchange at Macao casinos since early February this year. With a profit of about HKD 80 for every HKD 10,000 exchanged, he had profited a total of about HKD 40,000 ever since. The Judiciary Police officers seized HKD 100,000 in cash chips used for funding illegal currency exchange and a mobile phone on him.

Based on investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the two involved mainland Chinese to the Public Prosecutions Office for the charge of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
