Another Macau casino boss arrested
A leading casino boss was detained by Macau police in a new crackdown.
Chan Weng Lin was arrested and then resigned as Macau Legend Development CEO.
Macau Legend owns and operates a casino resort in Macau.
Chan resigned ‘to avoid distraction ‘the company said
In a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Macau Legend Development said: "The Board is of the view that as the Group is operated by a team of management personnel and the above incident relates to the personal affairs of Mr. Chan and not related to the Group."
Police said they had arrested two other people.
That adds up to 15 arrests since November for illegal gambling and money laundering, including Suncity boss Alvin Chau.
Police said the new arrests are linked to the Suncity case.
It means the bosses of the two largest junket operators have been arrested within weeks.
Police said the companies are involved in ‘illicit and criminal activities.’
