SINGAPORE – A Russian man and a Singaporean woman were hauled to a district court on Oct 9 over their alleged involvement in money laundering activities.
Russian Kuznetsov Pavel, 35, was handed 14 charges for several offences, including abetting unknown persons’ unauthorised access to corporate bank accounts, forging documents and abetting local company directors in failing to exercise reasonable diligence in their duties.
His accomplice, Singaporean Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, 42, was given eight charges, including abetting unauthorised access to bank accounts and transferring property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of criminal conduct.
The police said in a statement on Oct 8 that Pavel had provided corporate secretarial services to local and foreign clients in 2020 and 2021 through a firm he owned here.
He later recruited two people to serve as directors of two companies and allegedly told them that they did not need to exercise supervisory oversight over the companies or their bank accounts.
