In a case that has riveted the international community and tested the mettle of Singapore’s legal system, Su Jianfeng, the last member of a notorious group of money launderers, has been sentenced to 17 months in jail. This marks the culmination of a sprawling investigation involving hundreds of officers and the seizure of over SGD 1 billion in assets. This was the biggest money laundering case in Singapore so far.
In Singapore's largest money-laundering investigation, the Chinese national Lin Baoying, the sole female suspect among ten individuals implicated, was handed seven additional charges on Tuesday, May 21. The new allegations pertain to the possession of suspected criminal proceeds and the use of forged documents submitted to banks. During the court proceedings, Lin's lawyer announced that she intended to plead guilty. Lin herself requested an early date to enter her plea.
