中新网香港10月14日电 (记者 戴小橦)香港警方14日表示,日前侦破一宗高息放债及非法追数案件,捣毁违规财务公司及非法高息放债集团,共拘捕18人,涉案傀儡户口一年清洗犯罪得益达7000万港元。

新界南总区反三合会行动组于今年8月,接获葵涌住户遭淋红油追数的报案并展开调查。经查悉,受害人为偿还债务向财务机构借贷,其中一间涉事财务公司钻法律漏洞,以收取高额行政费的方式变相克扣贷款,实际放贷年利率高达160%,大幅超出本港法例规定的48%法定上限。

受害人负债累累后,无法从正规金融渠道贷款,随即被不法分子盯上。非法集团主动致电招揽业务,推出无需露面、无需入息证明的贷款服务,惟年利率飙升至500%,走投无路的受害人被迫借贷,并按要求将款项存入多个傀儡户口还款。

经过两个月调查,香港警方12日展开跨区执法行动,突击搜查旺角涉事财务公司,拘捕1名负责人及2名职员,检获10万港元现金、电脑及大批贷款文件。同时抓获6名电话放债登记人、6名傀儡户口持有人。

此外,沙田、葵青、大屿山警区同步行动,拘捕3名涉嫌刑事恐吓、刑事毁坏的非法追数人员,当中最年轻涉案者仅17岁。目前所有被捕人员已被扣留调查,警方正深入追查案件细节及涉案资金流向。
