HONG KONG—Macau police said on Sunday they had arrested 11 people in an investigation into an illegal gambling and money-laundering syndicate, a day after businessman Alvin Chau, who organizes trips to Asian casinos for big spending gamblers, was questioned at a police station.

The police said in a statement that people involved in the case acknowledged the group had operated gambling websites or telemarketing activities in other places.
