Last offender to plead guilty in S$3 billion money laundering case deported to UK

Wang, facing six claims, was past quarter handed a prison term of 16 weeks. The other two charges involved job violations under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, while the other two included money fraud.

For the money laundering fee that was proceeded on, Wang could have been jailed up to three years, or fined up to S$ 150, 000, or both.

He was the last suspect to enter a guilty plea in court after being captured with nine different immigrants in two separate attacks on the island of August, 2023.

Those before Wang have had millions of dollars in assets, including luxury items and attributes, seized and surrendered.

Wang himself had about S$ 54 million in assets, including cash, bitcoin, luxury products and home seized or subjected to ban of waste purchases. He consented to give up about 90 % of these assets.

Sun Xueling, the minister of state for house affairs and cultural and family development, stated before in a parliament that foreigners who have been found guilty of crimes there was specify their intention to be deported.

However, in response to a question from Ms. Sylvia Lim ( WP- Aljunied ), it is not a case where the offenders respond,” I choose and therefore I will be sent there.”

According to her,” the government needs to determine whether a person can get accepted to the country on the basis of the travel document they have,” she continued.

Ms. Lim had a question about the factors that are taken into account when determining which nations convinted foreigners are deported after serving their sentences, and how those factors are applied to the offenders in the multi-billion dollars money fraud case.

According to Ms. Sun,” These foreigners can go to any state to which their card or go document allows them to journey.” Similar to the convicted immigrants in the S$ 3 billion income trafficking case, this applies.

According to Ms. Sun, the government will have to choose which nation they have the best chance of entering and then conduct an assessment before deporting them when they have many passports.

” We do n’t want a situation where we try to deport someone but the country we’re deporting the person to does n’t accept them,” she said.
