Liu Luanxiong is suspected of money laundering.

20 12 On the evening of 23 May, the Chinese Real Estate Group announced that Liu Luanxiong, the chairman, chief executive officer and executive director of the company, was charged with bribery and money laundering, and the criminal prosecution court of the Macao Special Administrative Region accepted the case on the same day and entered the pre-trial procedure.

6 1 year-old, known as "Liu", ranks fifth in Forbes' list of Hong Kong's richest people with a net worth of $6.5 billion, and is one of the well-known real estate agents in Hong Kong. China buyers are mainly commercial properties, with shopping malls and office buildings in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai, and vigorously expand business and luxury goods in China, Macau, the Mainland and the United Kingdom.

The first phase of Royal Hainan Bay, a key luxury residential project built by China Real Estate in Macau at a cost of HK$ 20 billion, was put on sale with an average price of HK$ 7,500 (1 square foot, about 0.093 square meter). It was this luxury residential project launched in four phases that got Liu Luanxiong involved in the corruption trial in Macau which lasted for five and a half years.

The extraordinarily serious corruption case in Macao began on February 8, 2006, with 65438. At that time, Ou, then the Director-General of Public Works of Macao, was arrested on suspicion of serious bribery. The next day, he was removed from his post, and Ou's family and many people in Macao's construction industry were also arrested. In 2007, the Macao Independent Commission Against Corruption announced that Europe was suspected of taking advantage of its authority to accept bribes from a number of builders undertaking government public works from 2002 to 2006, amounting to 800 million patacas.

In the first trial in 2007, Ou was charged with 72 counts, including abuse of power, bribery and money laundering. , all established, sentenced to 27 years in prison in 2008; In the second trial in 2009, Ou's crime was increased to 865,438+0, and he was sentenced to 28 years and 6 months' imprisonment.

The case was heard in the third stage in the Macao Court of Final Appeal. Among them, Steven Lo, a wealthy businessman from Liu Luanxiong and Macau, paid a bribe of HK$ 20 million to Europe when bidding for five plots of land by the Macao SAR Government, and finally helped Ou Jing win five plots with an area of * * * 78,000 square meters adjacent to the Macau International Airport, which is now the "Royal Hainan Bay" plot.

According to Hong Kong media reports, one of the key exhibits was a HK$ 20 million Liao Chuangxing Bank check signed with his brother Liu Luanhong, which finally reached Europe.

Steven Lo's company, Moon Ocean Ltd, was accused by the Macao prosecutor. After winning the land in 2004, in 2005, the Chinese real estate subsidiary company handed over the cheque to the Romanian Macao company, which handed it to He Minghui, a construction businessman who had escaped on bail pending trial, and then deposited it in the account of the shell company in Europe. At the same time, China Real Estate acquired Luo's company and became the owner of five plots of land. The prosecution suspects that Liu Luanxiong may have bribed Ou Longwen through Steven Lowe.

The Macao prosecutor also produced a notebook called "Friendly Handbook" by Ou, showing that the number of meetings between Ou and Luo Zhiyuan was as high as 1 1. There are also abbreviations such as "Daliu/Jinguang Avenue" and "hillside/airport" in the manual, which are marked with a tick. The prosecution said that Owen Long had the habit of auditing accounts after accepting bribes.

At that time, Liu Luanxiong and Steven Rowe were both witnesses. China Real Estate once announced that it had not provided any illegal advance payment or bribe to Europe, but was asked by the Macao Court of Final Appeal to testify in court.

In the closing statement of the third stage on May 9, "Liu" did not testify in Macao, but firmly denied taking bribes. In his self-defense, Ou also insisted that he was not familiar with Liu Heluo, saying that he did not accept bribes from the other side, and that 20 million Hong Kong dollars was only the "consulting fee" paid by He Minghui.
