Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Macau judicial police arrested two Hong Kong men, who were the key members responsible for opening accounts in Macau casinos to launder black money in the JPEX case, and handed them over to the Procuratorate for investigation in the afternoon. During the operation, the police intercepted and froze more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars in funds involved in the case.

The police chief said that after receiving information from the Hong Kong Police Department and conducting several days of investigation, it was discovered that the two suspects had visited Macau many times in September. Action was taken yesterday and they were intercepted at the hotel where they were staying. More than 6 million Hong Kong dollars in cash chips and cash suspected to be involved were found on the two of them, and more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars that one of them had deposited into the casino account was frozen.
The police said that since multiple accounts in different casinos were found to be potentially involved in the case, they also froze another casino account with a deposit of about HK$5 million, and were looking for the whereabouts of the account holder.
During the investigation of the case, the Macau Judicial Police also received a report from two Macau residents, claiming that they had invested in JPEX and lost approximately A$1.44 million. (RTHK website)
