A relative of Macau Chief Executive Edmund Ho Hau-wah  is wanted by Interpol in the city's biggest graft scandal.
The international police organisation has issued a 'red notice' for Chan Lin-ian - brother-in-law of Mr Ho's brother - over suspected money laundering.
A red notice signals the person concerned is wanted by national jurisdictions and Interpol will help national police forces identify and locate him with a view to arresting and extraditing him. The Interpol website says Macau has issued an arrest warrant for Mr Chan, 53.
The South China Morning Post reported in April last year  that Mr Chan had been implicated in the corruption case of Ao Man-long.
Ao was a former public works minister who was jailed for 27 years on 57 counts of bribe-taking, money laundering, abuse of power and other charges.
Interpol has issued a red notice for Mr Chan's wife, Lam Man-i, also suspected of money laundering.
Mr Chan's company, Shun Heng Construction,  came under investigation last year for three suspect public works projects it undertook from 2003 to 2006. He allegedly provided kickbacks to Ao covering the Tap Seac Square  renovation, Sir Robert Ho Tung School  sports complex and Vasco da Gama Garden  underground parking projects. Issues of the Government Gazette showed that Mr Ho  approved the projects.
The Tap Seac Square project alone, which cost 150 million patacas, involved bribes of HK$7.6 million, according to the Commission Against Corruption of Macau.
Chan was among 13 suspects whose cases were sent by graft-busters to the Public Prosecutions Office last April in relation to the Ao scandal.   Macau residents have been calling on the  commission to investigate further and get to the bottom of the  matter.
Interpol has so far issued six red notices for people involved in the Ao scandal. The other four are Ao's wife, Chan Meng-ieng,  Ao's friend Lei Leong-chi and businessmen Ho Meng-fai  and Pedro Chiang.
