BAIL Army ARGUES
The prosecution’s objection to bail being granted was refuted by his most recent attorney, Ms. Megan Chia of Tan Rajah & amp, Cheach.
She emphasized her client’s presumption of innocence and his capacity to properly prepare for his defense.
It would be challenging for the defense to meet him frequently and for a long enough period of time to make his situation with him remanded, she said.
Ms. Chia also refuted the prosecution’s claim that Wang is a journey threat by pointing out how Wang has made Singapore his house for his three children, his wife, and his in-laws’ families.
She added that he also intended to bring his household to Singapore.
According to the attorney, Wang’s actions demonstrate his desire to remain in Singapore in order to provide his babies with a good, secure house where they can attend high-quality school.
Ms. Chia stated that the Vanuatu card has expired despite the fact that he has visas from China, Cambodia, Cyprus, and Vietnam.
He has spent the last five times firmly rooted in Singapore, not abusing his documents. That is not the behavior of a runaway or an international criminal, she claimed.
REBUTS IN PROSECUTION
Edwin Soh, the deputy public attorney, each refuted the defense’s arguments. He claimed that both Ms. Chia’s requests to speak with Wang at this hearing were granted on the grounds that the defense was unable to properly organize its case.
According to Mr. Soh, she was able to create an affidavit and written entries, and attorneys may bring on approved laptops with content from the products shared with the accused.
Mr. Soh cited the investigating officer’s ( IO ) affidavit, according to which Wang was hired into a Philippine online gambling company that offered Chinese citizens remote gambling services.
There was” significant fear” of Wang’s presence in a murder in China in 2015, according to the wanted observe the IO displayed.
The funds in Wang’s two charges, according to the IO, may be connected to illegal distant gambling activities.
Wang argued that remote betting is permitted in the Philippines, but Mr. Soh countered that this does not absolve him of the claims he faces in Singapore.
According to Mr. Soh,” It is obvious, particularly from the wanted observe, that he offered the distant gambling to people in China, and it is an offense there, as shown by the desired notice.”
It is not as severe as the prosecutors made it out to be, he claimed, because Wang claimed that his offense in China would have resulted in a large fine or suspended sentence.
This is irrelevant because the accused decided to relocate his home from China in order to avoid receiving a suspended sentence. According to Mr. Soh, it is evident in his entrance from his own oath.
The offenses Wang committed in China, according to his oath, would likely result in a large fine and suspension of his sentence. & nbsp,
According to Wang’s affidavit,” the reason I left China is that the suspended sentence involves suspension of my civil rights, which requires periodic monitoring to … the government … and restricts my ability to leave China.”
According to Mr. Soh, Wang then faces even more serious claims in Singapore, which could lead to a lengthy prison sentence.
According to Mr. Soh, Wang is” a very high trip risk” if he was ready to flee his home country in order to avoid serving a suspended sentence and be on the run. This proves Wang to be even more compelled to run away.
Both Wang’s cousin and brother-in-law work in isolated gambling and are sought after. They are at huge and can aid Wang’s escape, according to Mr. Soh.
He claimed that Wang acknowledged having just visited Cambodia twice while still managing to obtain a card for that country on his passports.
According to Mr. Soh, this demonstrates his capacity to acquire passports.
In reply, Ms. Chia claimed that despite the 2015 wanted see, the Chinese government granted her client a passport in 2016.
She claimed that Wang brought up the countenance in his petition in order to be honest about the challenges he faces in China and that it should be interpreted in light of his testimony.
Wang’s main worry, according to Ms. Chia, was that his inability to leave China may prevent him from spending time with his family, who he had intended to move to Singapore.
She claimed that Wang’s main reason for moving to Singapore was not to avoid the law; rather, he had made up his mind to settle there.
Later this afternoon, the judge will make his decision regarding whether to issue bond.
Wang is one of many defendants in the larger money laundering situation who will show up in court on Wednesday to request bond. Su Jianfeng, Zhang Ruijin, and Couple Lin Baoying are the other two.
On Wednesday morning, a parole evaluation for Chen Qingyuan, the second accused, was scheduled, but it was postponed after he hired Drew & amp, Napier attorneys to represent him.
