Two men arrested for aiding local syndicate

The Judiciary Police arrested two 41-year-old men suspected of helping a scam syndicate collect and launder money locally. Earlier this year, a victim lost about MOP2.45 million in an investment trap, with two South Asian men collecting MOP1.93 million and handing it over to the Macau suspects at a Coloane residence. Police seized computers, phones, cash, and money-counting machines during raids. Both suspects refused to cooperate, and investigations into the remaining culprits and stolen funds continue.
