SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old Malaysian man suspected of masterminding scam and money laundering operations in Singapore has been arrested in Malaysia and handed over to the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
The man, nicknamed “Da Xiang”, allegedly recruited and coordinated Malaysians to carry out government official impersonation scams and money laundering activities in Singapore, SPF said in a media release on Tuesday (Sep 22).
He was arrested in Malaysia on Tuesday and handed over to Singapore police on the same day.
According to preliminary investigations, the suspect met at least four Malaysian runners on multiple occasions in Malaysia, where he allegedly assigned them tasks, coordinated ATM withdrawals and paid them for their work.
