$3b money laundering case: $1.85b in assets surrendered by 15 suspects who fled Singapore

In Singapore’s $3-billion money laundering case, 15 of the 17 foreign nationals who fled the country have agreed to surrender about $1.85 billion worth of assets. These assets that the 15 agreed to surrender make up 98.6% of their seized and prohibited assets to the state. In August last year, the Singapore police conducted a large-scale operation into a group of foreign nationals suspected of laundering illicit proceeds from overseas crime activities. Ten foreign nationals were sentenced to between 13 and 17 months’ jail for money-laundering and other offences. Aslam Shah reports.
