109 people arrested for money laundering
Police said on Thursday that they have arrested 109 people earlier this month for alleged money laundering, totaling up to HK$59 million. Officers said they believe the suspects, aged between 18 and 82, were involved in 76 cases – including job, loan, investment, phone, online dating and shopping scams.  They added that initial investigations indicated that all of the suspects had “stooge accounts” for receiving fraudulent payments. The suspects have been released on bail and are required to report back to the police next month.
