Mainland man arrested for illegal currency exchange
On 7th July 2026 when officers of the Gaming-related Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police were conducting patrol in a casino in ZAPE district, a mainland man was discovered to be conducting illegal currency exchange with a male victim at the mass floor of the casino, hence intercepted them forthwith and brought them back to the Judiciary Police for investigation.
Investigation revealed that the mainland man had made a deal with the victim to exchange HKD10,000 of cash with RMB8,750. The involved man provided a QR code for the victim to make a transfer, then handed over the HKD in cash to the victim. Upon receiving the cash, the victim immediately went gambling at the slot machines nearby and eventually gambled away all the related funds.
Subsequent to investigation, it was discovered that the involved man had been operating the relevant illegal currency exchange business since October 2024, obtaining around HKD270,000 of profit up to the present. He profited around HKD100 for each HKD10,000 exchanged. The Judiciary Police officers seized two mobile phones and HKD8,300 in cash, both being the tools and funds for his illegal currency exchange operations, from the involved man.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred him to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charge of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
