五本澳男女涉相當巨額詐騙、清洗黑錢及犯罪集團被拘

本局於2023年12月至2024年3月期間先後接獲8名事主報案，稱其手提電話號碼無故被人加入股票投資群組，隨後群組內一名投資助理主動向各事主推送投資網站，由於各事主有意投資，故按對方指示以個人資料開立投資帳戶，並分別將數萬至數十萬港元存入對方指定的多個本澳、香港及內地銀行帳戶作投資用途。起初各事主均能獲利並提現數千港元，其後卻發現無法取回投資本金及回報，同時投資助理亦要求投入更多資金，各事主懷疑被騙故報警求助。

本局資訊罪案調查處根據調查和分析再尋獲另外22名事主，各人均遭遇同樣手法詐騙。上述30名事主每人損失數萬至870多萬澳門元不等，合共損失2,700多萬澳門元。

2024年1月至8月期間，本局人員先後拘捕23名涉案男女並將之悉數移送檢察院偵辦。由於涉案犯罪集團尚有骨幹成員在逃，本局隨即透過警務合作機制通報內地警方請求協助。

2024年9月4日，在廣東省公安廳協調下，珠海市警方成功緝獲一名本澳男主腦並移交本局。經查，涉案本澳男主腦自2023年12月起作案，以名下銀行帳戶收取至少約18萬港元騙款並從中獲利3,500港元；其後更招募6名下線成員協助處理1,470萬港元騙款，從中獲得約7萬港元不法利益。至今年1月，涉案本澳男主腦於同黨事敗被捕後即潛逃到內地繼續操控其下線作案至今年3月。

另外，本局人員於9月4日至5日期間分別在本澳多處再緝獲三男一女涉案本澳居民，各人受犯罪集團招攬提供名下銀行帳戶收取合共234萬港元騙款，其中三名涉案本澳男女分別獲得1,000多至3,000港元報酬，另外一名涉案本澳男子則未獲任何報酬。

本局根據調查所得，以詐騙(相當巨額)、清洗黑錢及犯罪集團等罪將五名涉案本澳男女移送檢察院偵辦。

Five locals (men and woman) apprehended for fraud of considerably huge amount, money laundering and criminal syndicate

The Judiciary Police received reports from 8 victims successively between December 2023 and March 2024, stating that their mobile phone numbers had been added to stock investment groups for no reasons. After that, an investment assistant in the group approached them to promote investment websites. Since the victims were interested in the investments, they opened investment accounts with their personal information as per the instructions of the opposite party, depositing sums ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands Hong Kong dollars into multiple bank accounts in Macao, Hong Kong and the mainland designated by the opposite party for investment purpose. At first, all the victims could gain profits and withdraw thousands of Hong Kong dollars in cash, yet subsequent to which they found that the investment capital and returns could not be withdrawn. At the same time, the investment assistant also requested them to invest more capital, which made the victims suspect that they had been defrauded and thus reported to the police for help.

Based on investigation and analysis, the I.T. Crimes Division of the Judiciary Police further found another 22 victims, all of whom had been defrauded with the same method. The loss incurred to each of the 30 victims mentioned above ranged from tens of thousands to more than MOP8,700,000, which amounted to loss of more than MOP27,000,000 in total.

Between January and August 2024, personnel of the Judiciary Police apprehended 23 involved men and women successively and transferred them to the Public Prosecutions Office. Since there were still core members of the involved criminal syndicate at large, the Judiciary Police swiftly alerted the mainland police to seek assistance via the policing cooperation mechanism.

On 4th September 2024, under the coordination of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, the Zhuhai police successfully apprehended a Macao male mastermind and transferred him to the Judiciary Police. Investigation revealed that the involved local male mastermind had started the perpetration since December 2023, receiving fraudulent proceeds of at least approximately HKD180,000 with bank account under his name and gained a profit of HKD3,500. After that, he even solicited 6 lower level members to assist in handling fraudulent proceeds of HKD14,700,000, from which illicit profits of around HKD70,000 were gained. The involved local male mastermind had fled to the mainland to continue the manipulation of the lower level members’ perpetration after the apprehension of his accomplice since January till March this year.

In addition, personnel of the Judiciary Police further arrested 3 male and 1 female involved local residents in various places in Macao respectively on September 4th and 5th, all of whom had been solicited by the criminal syndicate to provide bank accounts under their names to receive fraudulent proceeds of HKD2,340,000 in total. Among them, 3 of the involved locals (men and woman) received remuneration ranging from more than HKD1,000 to HKD3,000 respectively, while another involved local man did not receive any remuneration.

Based on investigative results, the Judiciary Police transferred the 5 involved locals (men and woman) to the Public Prosecutions Office for offences of fraud (considerably huge amount), money laundering and criminal syndicate.

Cinco indivíduos de Macau detidos por burla de valor consideravelmente elevado, lavagem de dinheiro e associação criminosa

Entre Dezembro de 2023 e Março de 2024, a PJ recebeu as queixas de oito pessoas, dizendo que os seus números de telemóvel foram adicionados, sem pedido prévio, a um grupo de conversa relativo a investimentos em acções, no qual o alegado assistente recomendou-lhes um website de investimento. Como as pessoas queriam investir, abriram, segundo as instruções do assistente e usando os seus dados pessoais, contas de investimento e depositaram dinheiro, entre dezenas e centenas de milhares de HKD, em determinadas contas de Macau, Hong Kong e da China continental. Embora os investidores, no início, tivessem lucrado e tivessem conseguido levantar milhares de HKD, verificaram depois que não conseguiam recuperar o dinheiro investido e os respectivos rendimentos, na altura em que esse assistente pediu mais investimentos, suspeitaram que se tratava de burla e fizeram a queixa.

A Divisão de Investigação de Crimes Informáticos, de acordo com o que apurou e analisou na investigação, descobriu outras 22 vítimas que tinham sofrido com o mesmo esquema de burla. As 30 vítimas tiveram prejuízos que variam entre dezenas de milhares e mais de 8,7 milhões de patacas, num total de mais de 27 milhões de patacas.

No período entre Janeiro e Agosto de 2024, os nossos agentes detiveram 23 suspeitos que foram presentes ao Ministério Público. Uma vez que alguns dos membros fundamentais da rede estavam em fuga, a PJ entrou em contacto com a Polícia da China através do mecanismo de cooperação policial e solicitou a sua colaboração.

No dia 4 de Setembro, graças à coordenação da Directoria Provincial da Segurança Pública de Guangdong, a polícia de Zhuhai conseguiu deter um homem de Macau, que era um cabecilha, e entregou-o à PJ. Na investigação, apurou-se que este homem actuava desde Dezembro do ano passado, usou contas registadas em seu nome para receber pelo menos 180.000 HKD provenientes de burlas e lucrou 3.500 HKD. Mais tarde, contratou seis membros inferiores para ajudá-lo no processamento de 14,7 milhões de HKD e obteve daí um rendimento ilegal aproximado de 70.000 HKD. Em Janeiro deste ano, depois que os cúmplices tinham sido detidos, o líder do grupo fugiu para o continente e continuou a manipular os membros para actuar até Março.

Além disso, em 4 e 5 de Setembro, os nossos agentes detiveram em vários lugares outros três homens e uma mulher, residentes de Macau, os quais foram angariados pelo grupo, que usaram as suas contas para receber um total de 2,34 milhões de HKD. Entre estes detidos, dois homens e a mulher foram remunerados com mais de 1.000 a 3.000 HKD, enquanto que o outro homem não ganhou nada.

Conforme o apurado na investigação, as cinco pessoas foram presentes ao MP por burla (de valor consideravelmente elevado), branqueamento de capitais e associação criminosa.
