Macau ex-gang boss arrested over alleged plot to kill
Right-hand man to 'Broken Tooth' Wan allegedly hired by jealous husband
Macau police have arrested a former right-hand man of "Broken Tooth" Wan Kuok-koi a week before the gangster's release from prison.
Chan Yuet-bo, who had been a senior detective with the Macau Judiciary Police, was arrested in a flat in Taipa yesterday afternoon.
About 10 armed officers were involved in the arrest.
Sources said a casino employee who was suspicious his wife having an affair found Chan to hire a hit man from the mainland to murder her.
It is understood that two people who worked under Chan were stopped and arrested when they were following the wife. Officers subsequently arrested Chan, the hit man and the husband.
Sharpened screwdrivers, 20 knives, air guns and explosives were found during the arrest. The men were arrested for organised crime, attempted murder and possession of banned weapons, the source said.
