Date: 20-Sep-2007 Sources: (People's Daily)
The Macao police have nabbed three suspects for casino loan-sharking charges, local media reported Wednesday.
The Macao Post Daily quoted police sources as saying that the police Tuesday captured the trio at a local apartment building after receiving a tip-off.
The three suspects had earlier offered a mainland gambler loans worth 30,000 patacas (3,750 U.S. dollars) and demanded 'a commission' of 10 percent, the sources told the newspaper.
The suspects have been transferred to the Public Prosecution for further investigations and possible arraignment, the sources were cited.
Loan-sharking has long been a common crime in Macao, a world famous casino gaming center.
