More than 6,000 suspicious transactions involving about 1,800 trading partners made by suspects from 50 business accounts across four banks

Hong Kong customs has uncovered its largest money laundering case this year, arresting four individuals involved in suspicious transactions totalling HK$2.6 billion (US$334 million) across more than 50 bank accounts linked to three shell companies.

A 25-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman, both employed at different money service operators, together with two male directors of an investment company, were arrested in late August and earlier this month.

They were suspected of carrying out suspicious local transactions using three companies without business records, which were set up by the two money service operator employees.
