A cross-border criminal syndicate targeting Macau gamblers, particularly those from Hong Kong, was busted by police from Macau and Hong Kong working together on a loan shark scheme.
According to investigations, the syndicate had been active in Macau and Hong Kong in recent years, lending money to gamblers in Macau—especially those from Hong Kong.
If a borrower lost their money, it was covertly transferred to Hong Kong and they were made to repay twice as much as they had borrowed. Threatening and coercive measures were used against those who did not repay the debts.
