A deputy sergeant in the Traffic Department of Macau’s Public Security Police Force is alleged to have received bribes from the owner of a VIP gaming room in return for information on police activities.

According to details released by the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) on Monday, the officer and his wife were provided money and luxury hotel accommodation for leaking information about the police.

Following a tip-off, the CCAC found that the deputy sergeant was “very close to some persons associated with VIP gaming rooms and visited the VIP gaming rooms many times in violation of law,” it said. “During the visits, he allegedly leaked information about the police to the owner and received advantages such as money and free hotel accommodation in return.”
