Grand relaunch of Hong Kong club marred by police raid, money laundering arrest

The grand relaunch of a famous Hong Kong nightclub on Saturday night was marred by a police raid that saw at least one person arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

Police and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department officers raided Big Boss Generation (BBG) in Tsim Sha Tsui at around 10pm that night, just hours after the club opened.

Photos from the scene showed dozens of uniformed officers entering the club and inspecting customers and staff.

The force also arrested a local man on suspicion of money laundering during the raid.

Police said the operation was part of a broader effort by the force’s organised crime and triad bureau, in cooperation with the department, to patrol entertainment venues in the district.

BBG, described as a multiple entertainment venue, opened on the same 56,000 sq ft site at the New Mandarin Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui East as the once-glamorous Club Bboss, which closed more than a decade ago.
