SINGAPORE: Two partners of a licensed private investigation agency who were allegedly hired to conduct surveillance on a police officer were charged in court on Thursday (Oct 30).
Tan Kok Boon, 57, and Tan Hui Ting, 32, are accused of providing private investigation services without approval.
The woman was a partner of CDiC Consultants, while the man was a managing partner, according to charge sheets.
The police said in a news release on Thursday that it received a report on the unauthorised surveillance of a police officer on Jan 10, 2022.
Investigations found that both accused had accepted a security surveillance assignment from a male client to conduct surveillance on the police officer, who was investigating a case against the male client’s family member.
As the officer was working at the Police Cantonment Complex, a protected place under the Infrastructure Protection Act, prior approval was needed from the Police Regulatory Department.
