HONG KONG (Reuters) – A top Macau gambling boss has been sentenced by a local court to 18 years in jail after he was found guilty of charges including enabling illegal gaming, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB reported on Wednesday.
Alvin Chau was chairman of Macau’s Suncity junket – which brokered the gambling activity of Chinese high rollers – until December 2021, a month after his arrest.
Chau had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
