(BBC) - On Sunday, authorities said they had arrested two men over alleged money laundering and illegal gambling.

Macau Legend Development, which runs three casinos in the city, confirmed the arrest of its chief executive and controlling shareholder Chan Weng Lin.

The move comes after the arrest in November of high profile Macau gambling executive Alvin Chau.

Gambling is illegal in mainland China but is allowed in Macau, which like Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China.
