A government official confirmed that a vice ministerial-level North Korean was arrested in Macao but released the following day.

However, he said that it was not verified whether the man was Secretary of the North Korean Workers' Party Kang Sang-chun.

The official said the arrest was related to money laundering committed by a North Korean company in 1996 but was not linked to the recent controversy over counterfeiting.
