Violent Offense in Macau:
The only place in China to bet legally in a casino is at Macau. In the region, violent crime is often associated with junket operators, the go-between who bring in the wealthiest people to gamble at the regional casinos. Junket operators have started to decrease in the region as expansion in Macau has slowed and regulations have tightened up.
Triads are just another threat to the region, criminal gangs that are proven to function in Macau. Typically, these groups are associated with money laundering and extortion, in addition to prostitution and murder.
As more details emerge between the Sands episode, we’ll report findings as they’re published.
