SINGAPORE – An alleged member of a money laundering syndicate targeting Singapore bank accounts was charged on July 22 with engaging in a conspiracy to help others retain crime benefits.<\/p>\n
Singapore authorities had earlier issued a warrant of arrest against Tan Kian Hoa, who is a Malaysian, before he was detained at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on July 20.<\/p>\n
He was handed over to the Singapore Police Force (SPF) the next day.<\/p>\n
In March, Tan, 28, allegedly worked with a group of people including Tey Jia Yee and Wong Hoo Ping to commit the offence linked to the benefits of an undisclosed criminal activity.<\/p>\n
Money was then transferred out of multiple MariBank accounts, but court documents did not disclose the amounts involved.<\/p>\n
The documents also did not disclose details about Tey and Wong.<\/p>\n
In a statement on July 21, SPF said it had earlier conducted a joint two-month operation targeting transnational scams, partnering nine foreign law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
With information MariBank had provided, the syndicate was disrupted in March during Operation Frontier+ III.<\/p>\n
SPF then worked with the Commercial Crime Investigation Department of the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) to arrest Tan.<\/p>\n
His case will be mentioned again in August.<\/p>\n
If convicted, he can be jailed for up to 10 years, fined up to $500,000, or both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
