A total of 23 men and seven women were arrested on Sunday for their alleged involvement in the illegal use of bank cards by conducting bogus cash transactions so that clients could get cash after swiping their cards on tampered-with POS (points of sale) machines in Macao.
Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Cheong Kam Fai said on Monday during a regular press conference that an unemployed man, surnamed Zheng, was arrested on Saturday for the sexual coercion of his wife – who is divorcing him for the second time – at her flat earlier this month.
