Counterfeit yuan banknotes discovered in Macau
A number of counterfeit yuan banknotes, with serial numbers beginning with "TJ38", were discovered in Macau on Wednesday, CCTV reported yesterday.This is the first time that TJ38-numbered fake one 100-yuan banknotes were discovered in the region following similar counterfeit yuan notes beginning with HD90, HB and FA serial numbers were discovered on the mainland around the end of last year.According to Macau police, four fake 100-yuan notes were discovered and confiscated when a 36-year-old suspect, surnamed Zhang, who holds a Hong Kong ID card, used them to purchase gambling chips at a casino in Macau on Wednesday.The CCTV report said the suspect was apprehended on the spot, and found to be in possession of another six fake 100 yuan notes.Macau police say before he was apprehended, the suspect had been in the SAR three times over the past one month. The origin of the fake notes, as well as the purpose during the suspect's visit to Macau, however, still remain unknown.But police reportedly suspected that a notebook he was carrying contained information regarding money laundering, and believe he might be working for an underground counterfeit money syndicate.The case is currently under further investigation.
