Singapore’s mega money laundering bust: assets frozen exceed SG$3 bil

KUALA LUMPUR – Another 55 properties, 15 vehicles, 189 luxury bags, 34 pieces of jewellery and five luxury watches have been seized in Singapore’s largest money laundering case, with their total value exceeding SG$3 billion (RM10.55 billion).

The probe, which saw 10 foreigners arrested, netted 207 properties, 77 vehicles, more than SG$1.45 billion in bank accounts, and more than SG$76 million in various currencies.

Authorities also seized thousands of bottles of liquor and wine, cryptocurrency worth more than SG$38 million, 68 gold bars, 483 luxury bags, 169 branded watches and 580 pieces of jewellery, reported The Straits Times.

In addition, arrest warrants and Interpol Red Notices have been issued against Cambodian nationals Su Yongcan, 33, and Wang Huoqiang, 29. The duo fled Singapore before arrests started on August 15 last year.

Su is the brother-in-law of Wang Dehai, one of the 10 accused, while Huoqiang is Dehai’s cousin. It is believed that Su and Huoqiang were wanted in China for illegal gambling activities in 2018.

Yesterday, police also confirmed that they seized more than US$16 million in cash and foreign currencies from Su. His bank accounts amounting to SG$145 million have been frozen, as well as seven properties and 10 vehicles seized.

Huoqiang had his SG$188,000 in cash seized and bank accounts with more than SG$5 million frozen.

The anti-money laundering operation started in 2021 when the authorities suspected the use of forged documents for funds in bank accounts here.

By 2022, police had launched an investigation into the suspects – Chen Qingyuan, 33; Lin Baoying, 44; Su Baolin, 42; Su Haijin, 40; Su Jianfeng, 35; Su Wenqiang, 31; Vang Shuiming, 43; Wang Baosen, 31; Wang Dehai, 34; and Zhang Ruijin, 45.

They were all denied bail. – January 20, 2024
