According to a police statement, one million patacas in cash was discovered during the bust and a computer containing a list of 2,400 prostitutes was seized. A photograph in the South China Morning Post showed him handcuffed and being led away by police.

Alan Ho, a nephew of casino tycoon Stanley, was arrested with several other alleged ringleaders and 96 prostitutes in a raid on Saturday, a government source confirmed. Vong said prostitutes had to pay a 150,000-yuan membership fee ($24,200) to join the group and were allowed to solicit at a hotel after paying a monthly fee. It is the largest prostitution syndicate to be broken up since the former Portuguese colony was returned to China in 1999, 'both in terms of money involved and number of prostitutes', he said.

The syndicate sourced prostitutes online, mostly from mainland China, to solicit at a Macau hotel, turning an estimated annual profit of 400 million patacas ($50 million), Vong Chi-hong, spokesman for the city's Judiciary Police told AFP. Police in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau have busted a major prostitution ring and arrested more than 100 people, including the nephew of gaming tycoon Stanley Ho, city authorities said Tuesday.
