PJ says Lisboa arrests began with anonymous tip-off

The trial of Alan Ho continued yesterday as a new session heard a testimony from a lead Judiciary Police (PJ) investigator that explained how an anonymous tip-off had initially raised the alarm back in 2014 over the illicit activities. The investigator told the session that an anonymous tip-off had led the PJ to undertake a wiretapping operation involving the main suspects believed to have had a role in prostitution ring that allegedly operated inside the hotel. The most prominent figure involved in the case is Alan Ho, a nephew of Stanley Ho and the executive director of the Hotel Lisboa at the time of the arrests in January 2015. The trial resumes today.
