An in-law of Macau chief executive Edmund Ho is wanted by Interpol in connection with corruption allegations in Macau, reports Agence France-Presse and the Sunday Morning Post in Hong Kong.
The international police organisation has issued a ‘red notice’ for Chan Lin-ian, brother-in-law of Mr Ho’s brother, concerning allegations of suspected money laundering. There is also a warrant out on Mr Chan’s wife Lam Man-i for the same allegation.
Arrest warrants for the pair had also been issued by Macau authorities, according to the Interpol website.
A red notice means that the persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions, and that Interpol will assist the national police forces in identifying or locating them with a view to their arrest and extradition.
Chan, 53, had been implicated in the corruption case of Macau’s former public works minister Ao Man-long, who was jailed last year for 27 years on 57 counts of bribe-taking, money laundering, abuse of power and other charges, the Post said.
