Ten indicted in Macau casino money laundering schemeStaff writer, with CNAYunlin prosecutors yesterday indicted 10 people for laundering more than NT$33 billion (US$1.03 billion) in illicit gambling gains through casinos in Macau. The probe began in November last year after the Criminal Investigation Bureau received information about a criminal group recruiting money mules to launder funds overseas, the Yunlin District Prosecutors' Office said in a statement. Seized cash from an alleged money laundering operation is counted in an undated photograph. The mules earned not only higher credit limits, but also commissions of 3 to 4.5 percent for assisting in the laundering, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said they completed the investigation yesterday and filed charges against Chen, Lin, Liao and seven others under the Money Laundering Control Act (洗錢防制法) and other related legislation.
