    Singapore busts $737 mn money laundering ring, 10 foreign nationals arrested

    Singapore busts $737 mn money laundering ring, 10 foreign nationals arrested

    Singaporean authorities have apprehended 10 foreign individuals as part of a major crackdown on alleged money laundering and forgery activities. The case involves an astonishing sum of around S$1 bn ($737 mn) in cash, real estate, high-end vehicles, and various other valuable assets.

    The arrests were carried out during simultaneous raids conducted across the city-state on August 15. As per a statement released by the Singapore police on August 16, the operation was aimed at capturing suspects linked to significant financial misconduct. The authorities are working diligently to uncover the intricate web of illicit financial activities that the suspects are believed to have orchestrated.

    Prohibition of disposal orders has been issued for a total of 94 properties and 50 vehicles, collectively valued at over S$815 mn ($600 mn). This move is intended to prevent the suspects from disposing of their assets during the ongoing investigation. Among the assets seized are numerous luxury items, including upscale handbags, jewelry, watches, and high-end electronic devices.

    In addition to tangible assets, a substantial number of bank accounts have been frozen to prevent further movement of funds. The authorities have also taken possession of a significant amount of cash and various documents that reportedly contain information regarding virtual assets.

    The individuals taken into custody range in age from 31 to 44 and hail from diverse nationalities, including Chinese, Turkish, Cypriot, Cambodian, and Ni-Vanuatu. This multinational involvement suggests a complex network potentially aimed at obscuring the origins of the funds.

    In a separate statement issued by the Singapore central bank, it was revealed that they are actively cooperating with the financial institutions where the potentially tainted funds have been detected. The central bank is engaging in supervisory activities with these financial institutions to ensure that proper measures are taken to prevent such instances in the future. However, the statement did not disclose the names of the financial institutions involved.
