A nephew of Macau Gambling tycoon Stanley Ho has been arrested for suspicion of running a massive prostitution ring from the gambling Mecca.

Alan Ho, a long time senior manager at SJM Holdings, was charged along with five others on Saturday with running the ring from one of the company’s largest properties, the Lisboa Hotel.

Local authorities claim this was the biggest bust of its kind since the former Portuguese colony was returned to China in 1999.

Prostitution is legal in Macau, but inciting the act is against the law.

The bust comes following Chinese President Xi Jinping's announced crackdown on gambling.
