偵破不法匯兌案 三內地男女被拘
2026年10月9日中午，本局接獲治安警察局移交一宗不法匯兌案，本局有組織罪案調查處隨即接手調查。
案情顯示，2026年10月8日晚上，男賭客在路氹城區某酒店大堂遇到涉案內地男子，對方稱可以0.85匯率兌換人民幣，但須在酒店房間內交易。男賭客欲兌換22萬港元賭博，遂跟隨前往酒店房間。在房間內另有兩名涉案內地男女等候，男賭客通知內地朋友透過支付寶及微信轉賬18.7萬元人民幣後，隨即取得22萬港元現金。隨後，三名涉案男女因匯率問題與男賭客發生爭執，男賭客通知兩名男友人到場協助，其間發生推撞及拉扯，最後驚動酒店保安員報警揭發事件。
經本局調查，證實三名涉案男女在酒店房間內與男賭客進行匯兌交易，明知男賭客兌換港元用於賭博，仍提供不法匯兌，從中賺取2,200元人民幣不法利益。本局已扣押涉案的22萬港元現金及四部手機。
綜合各項調查內容，本局以經營為賭博的不法匯兌罪，將三名涉案男女移送檢察院偵辦。
Case of illegal currency exchange cracked with three mainlanders arrested
At noon on 9th October 2026, the Public Security Police Force transferred a case of illegal currency exchange to the Judiciary Police, which was immediately passed to the Organized Crime Division for investigation.
Case details revealed that on the night of 8th October 2026, a male gambler encountered the involved mainland man in the lobby of a hotel in the Cotai district, who offered to exchange RMB in the currency exchange rate of 0.85 on condition that the transaction had to be conducted in a hotel room. The male gambler wanted to exchange HKD 220,000 for gambling, thus followed the involved man to a hotel room, in which two other involved mainland individuals awaited. The male gambler notified his friend in the mainland to transfer RMB 187,000 by Alipay and WeChat, then immediately received HKD 220,000 in cash. The three involved men and woman later had a dispute with the male gambler over the currency exchange rate, who rallied two male friends to the scene. A scuffle broke out in the course and eventually alerted hotel security guards to call the police and revealed the incident.
Investigation confirmed that the three involved individuals had conducted a currency exchange transaction with the male gambler in the hotel room. They knowingly provided illegal currency exchange to the male gambler for the purpose of gambling, to gain an illegal profit of RMB 2,200. The Judiciary Police had already detained the HKD 220,000 in cash and four mobile phones involved in the case.
Integrating various investigative findings, the Judiciary Police transferred the three involved individuals to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offence of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
