內地男子涉不法匯兌法辦
本局有組織罪案調查處人員於2026年7月7日在路氹城區一娛樂場附設的大型酒店進行針對不法匯兌巡查行動，其間發現兩名男子形跡可疑，遂在現場監視，並目睹二人透過手機完成操作後，一同進入娛樂場內之賭枱。隨後，該名涉案內地男子將一個籌碼兌換成多個較小面額的籌碼，並將其中部分籌碼交予同行男子後離開現場，而該名男子則使用所獲籌碼進行賭博，未幾已全數輸光。
基於有理由相信二人正進行不法匯兌，本局人員立即採取行動，將他們截獲並帶返本局調查。經查，涉案內地男子自今年1月起在本澳娛樂場內經營不法匯兌。於是次不法交易中，涉案內地男子以7,920元人民幣兌換9,000港元予對方用作賭博，從中賺取120元人民幣利潤。本局人員從其身上搜獲一部手機，以及用作經營不法匯兌資金的6.9萬港元籌碼。
本局根據調查所得，以經營為賭博的不法匯兌罪將涉案內地男子移送檢察院偵辦。
Mainland Chinese man arrested for illegal currency exchange
During a patrol operation targeting at illegal currency exchange at a large hotel, a subsidiary of a casino in Cotai, on 7th July 2026, the Organised Crime Division officers of the Judiciary Police found two men acting suspiciously, thus kept a watch on them. The duo were seen using their mobile phone before approaching a gaming table at the casino together. The involved mainland Chinese man subsequently exchanged a chip into several chips of smaller face values, some of which were then handed to the other man, and left the scene. The latter shortly gambled away all the chips that he had received.
Owing to the reasonable doubt that the duo had engaged in illegal currency exchange, the Judiciary Police officers took action promptly, intercepting and taking them in for investigation. The involved mainland Chinese man was found to have operated illegal currency exchange at casinos in Macao since January this year. In this illegal transaction, he had exchanged RMB 7,920 into HKD 9,000 for the other party to gamble, earning a profit RMB 120. The Judiciary Police officers seized on him a mobile phone and HKD 69,000 in chips used as capital for operating illegal currency exchange.
Based on investigative findings, the involved mainland Chinese man was transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office for the charge of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
