In a joint operation between Hong Kong and mainland police, authorities have busted a cross-border syndicate that allegedly laundered more than 270 million dollars through local digital banks.
The group allegedly recruited mainland residents to open digital bank accounts in Hong Kong and record selfie videos, which were later used to bypass facial recognition systems.
Three core members were arrested -- including a 32-year-old man who was apprehended in Hong Kong. Two other suspects were detained in Shenzhen.
Investigators say 184 accounts were exploited, including proceeds from more than 300 fraud cases.
The case has prompted the Monetary Authority to issue warnings to banks and tighten verification procedures.
