Items seized from suspects in Hong Kong’s biggest money laundering case yet are on display in Hong Kong yesterday. Hong Kong Customs announced yesterday it had smashed a money laundering syndicate involving a family of five and a money changer in an operation codenamed “Shadow Hunter” in September. The amount involved in the case is over HK$3 billion (US$387 million), which is the largest ever among similar cases handled by the city’s customs. The family had allegedly opened more than 100 personal bank accounts since 2018. The customs has already arranged to freeze HK$30 million of assets held by the arrested persons and suspended the license of the money service operator involved.China News Service |
