BRITAIN has agreed to repatriate to Macau some US$43 million of ill-gotten assets belonging to a former top Macau official who was jailed in 2008 for bribery and money laundering.

Under the agreement, "most of the illicit assets abroad" of Macau's former secretary for transport and public works would be sent back to the former Portuguese colony in south-east China, the Macau government said in a statement on Tuesday.
