Nine arrested in money-laundering case

The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested nine local residents on Tuesday on suspicion of involvement in a MOP25 million money-laundering case. The individuals are thought to have assisted a Macau couple arrested last year for running a money-laundering racket.
According to authorities the Macau couple are believed to have deposited the money in various local bank accounts with the help of their relatives. The couple were later caught and sentenced to seven and eight years in prison, respectively.
Now the PJ believes they have caught nine residents that assisted them including their daughter, after they checked 10 related bank accounts and several apartment units. The case has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office.
