Local sentenced to death in mainland
A local man has been sentenced to death in China for drug trafficking and possessing and illegal fire arm.
According to Portuguese reports, the 46-year-old man Lau Fat Wai is a Macau permanent resident, who holds both a Portuguese passport and ID card. The man was sentenced to death by a Guangzhou court.
His lawyer Vasco Passeira was quoted as saying that authorities in both Macau and Lisbon, Portugal are being contacted to come to some sort of agreement so that the man can serve a life sentence instead of facing the death penalty.
A date for his execution was not yet been set because his lawyer has appealed the Guangzhou court's decision.
