HONG KONG—Police in Macau and mainland China detained 39 suspects in an underground lending case involving more than 30 billion yuan ($4.42 billion), as China steps up measures to reduce economic risks and clamp down on illicit capital outflows.
Macau police and state news agency Xinhua reported on Jan. 22 that a criminal gang had illegally brought credit card point-of-sale terminals from the mainland into Macau’s casinos for gamblers to get cash out.
