Ninety-three individuals have been charged for their alleged involvement in an illicit sports gambling operation that extended to Hong Kong and the Guangdong Province, including a Macau customs officer.
The investigation got underway, according to a police statement, when evidence of a related illegal sports betting ring was found during a 2022 money laundering investigation. According to reports, four of the syndicate's leaders are already behind bars for their roles in the money laundering case, but they have managed the sportsbook operation from behind bars.
