內地漢涉不法匯兌被捕
本局日前接獲治安警察局移交一宗懷疑涉嫌詐騙及不法匯兌的案件，案中兩名內地男事主於2026年7月19日入境本澳賭博，其間透過微信聯絡涉案內地男子，並於路氹城區一酒店房間進行兌換。事主於當日及翌日先後兩次透過銀行轉帳合共1,440,450元人民幣，向涉案男子兌換165萬港元現金用於賭博。
7月21日，兩名事主欲將賭博剩餘合共300萬港元現金兌換回人民幣，涉案男子安排轉帳259.2萬元人民幣至事主帳戶。惟款項因涉及海外轉帳觸發銀行風險保護性封控，事主誤以為被騙而拒絕交付現金並報警求助。經本局有組織罪案調查處調查，事主並未遭受損失，故不作追究；惟經核查計算，涉案男子於前兩次匯兌中獲利14,800港元。此外，本局已將事主交出的300萬港元現金及涉案男子身上的一部手機扣押。
本局根據調查所得，以經營為賭博的不法匯兌罪，將涉案男子移送檢察院偵辦。另外，因發現涉案男子持有本澳外地僱員認別證，卻無法交代僱傭狀況，涉嫌觸犯為取得許可而虛偽作出並主張某些法律行為罪，本局已就此另行立案跟進。
Mainland man arrested for illegal currency exchange
Earlier on, a case involving suspected fraud and illegal currency exchange was transferred to the Judiciary Police by the Public Security Police Force. The two mainland male victims in this case entered Macao for gambling on 19th July 2026, during which they had contacted the involved mainland man via WeChat and conducted currency exchange inside a hotel room in Cotai district. On that day and the following day, the victims successively transferred a total of RMB1,440,450 through the bank on two occasions, in exchange for HKD1.65 million in cash from the involved man for gambling.
On July 21st, the two victims intended to exchange the remaining gambling funds of HKD3 million in total back to RMB, while the involved man was to arrange a transfer of RMB2,592,000 to the victims’ account. However, the funds involved overseas remittance, which then triggered the risk protective measures in banking. The victims mistakenly thought that they were deceived, thus refused to hand over the cash and reported to the police for help. Upon investigation by the Organised Crime Division of the Judiciary Police, the victims did not suffer any loss, therefore they decided not to pursue the case. Nevertheless, after checking and calculation, the involved man profited HKD14,800 from the previous two currency exchanges. Moreover, the Judiciary Police seized the HKD3 million in cash, surrendered by the victims, and a mobile phone from the involved man.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved man to the Public Prosecutions Office with the charge of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling. In addition, the involved man was discovered to be a Non-resident Worker Identification Card holder, yet unable to explain the employment situation. He was suspected to have committed the offence of “falsely performing and claiming certain legal acts to obtain permits”. As such, the Judiciary Police established another dossier to follow up.
