Hong Kong Police have dismantled a money laundering operation involving virtual currency exchanges, seizing HK$17.3 million in illicit funds. Two individuals from mainland China were found to have opened shell bank accounts in Hong Kong, using 43 local accounts to process proceeds from 34 fraud cases. These funds were then laundered through cryptocurrency purchases at virtual asset exchange shops. Financial investigations revealed the group laundered up to HK$230 million through local bank accounts. The two individuals have been charged with multiple counts of money laundering, receiving sentences of 28 and 43 months' imprisonment, respectively, following court approval for enhanced penalties.
