內地漢涉不法匯兌就逮
2026年10月21日，本局有組織罪案調查處人員在路氹城區一娛樂場附設的大型酒店進行打擊不法匯兌巡查期間，發現涉案內地男子與一男一女內地居民行為異樣，遂展開監視。其間，該兩名內地居民透過手機程式完成操作後，涉案內地男子隨即交付兩個10萬港元籌碼。因對方要求核實籌碼真偽，三人一同進入娛樂場，將上述籌碼兌換為多個小面額籌碼，確認無誤後各自離開，本局人員分頭跟進。
其後，兩名客人使用匯兌所得的籌碼進行賭博，輸剩4萬港元籌碼時被本局人員截查並帶返本局跟進；另一方面，基於涉案內地男子在娛樂場附屬設施內經營未經許可的匯兌業務，本局人員隨即將其截查。
調查顯示，涉案內地男子自2026年10月起在本澳從事不法匯兌活動，至今獲利約1,100元人民幣。案發當日，其在明知對方兌換目的為賭博的情況下，以172,600元人民幣向對方兌換20萬港元籌碼，是次交易獲利400元人民幣。本局人員在其身上搜獲一部懷疑用作不法匯兌的手機及8萬港元籌碼。
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 man apprehended for illegal currency exchange
On 21st October 2026, while conducting patrol and combat operation against illegal currency exchange at a sizable hotel affiliated to a casino in the Cotai district, personnel of the Organised Crime Division of the Judiciary Police found the involved mainland man, one male mainland resident and one female mainland resident acting suspiciously, thus immediately kept them under surveillance. During this period, the two mainland residents completed the operation via a mobile phone application, and were handed over two HKD100,000 worth of casino chips by the involved mainland man. Since the other party requested to verify the authenticity of the chips, the trio entered the casino together, exchanging the abovementioned chips into multiple chips of small values. Having confirmed the authenticity, they then left separately and personnel of the Judiciary Police split up to tail them.
Later, the two patrons gambled with the chips exchanged. When their chip stack dropped to HKD40,000, they were intercepted by the personnel of the Judiciary Police and brought back for follow-up. On the other hand, since the involved mainland man was operating unauthorised currency exchange business inside the affiliated facility of a casino, the Judiciary Police officers intercepted him immediately.
Investigation revealed that the involved mainland man had been operating illegal currency exchange in Macao since October 2026, and had gained profit totalling around RMB1,100 to date. On the day when the case took place, while being fully aware that the other party’s purpose in exchanging the currency was for gambling, the man nevertheless exchanged RMB172,600 with the other party for HKD200,000 worth of casino chips and gained a profit of RMB400 from the transaction. The Judiciary Police seized a mobile phone suspected to be used for currency exchange and HKD80,000 worth of chips from the man.
Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the involved mainland man to the Public Prosecutions Office for the offence of operating illegal currency exchange for gambling.
