Macao Directorate of Judiciary Police held a press conference this afternoon (November 28), confirming the arrest of a 47-year-old man surnamed Chau, reported as a businessman, while arresting 10 other people. After initial questioning, the detained people confessed to setting up online platforms overseas to carry out related criminal activities but refused to cooperate with further investigations.

It has been reported that Alvin Chau was questioned by Macao police on Saturday after mainland authorities a day earlier issued an arrest warrant over his suspected involvement in running illegal cross-border gambling activities.

The Macao government said it had received a notification from the relevant mainland authorities that Macao resident Alvin Chau was suspected of setting up a cross-border gambling syndicate, illegally organizing Chinese citizens to gamble in his offshore casinos, and participating in cross-border online gambling activities, involving a considerable amount of money, which seriously undermined the social management order of the country.

Chau, who was born in Macao in 1974, is also the chairman of Hong Kong-listed Suncity Group Holdings Ltd, a developer of resorts in Asia.
