instigating another person to falsify accounts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chen Xiuling, 44, who is a Singaporean and had a warrant of arrest issued against her, was <a

data-testid=\"typography-test-id\">arrested at Changi Airport on Nov 5<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Court documents did not say from which country she had flown in from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">On Nov 5, the police said in a statement that she was a director of several Singapore-registered companies believed to be linked to Chen Zhi, the founder and chairman of Prince Holding Group, including Skyline Investment Management and Capital Zone Warehousing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In September 2022, Skyline allegedly submitted a business plan and a false agreement to JTC Corporation for approval to take over the lease of a property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chen Xiuling is believed to have instigated an officer of Capital Zone Warehousing to falsify the agreement with the intention to defraud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She allegedly instructed Quen Kok Hui to falsify a \u201ccigar investment agreement\u201d purportedly between the firm and another company called Cars and Coffee Gem, dated Sept 5, 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The agreement is said to have falsely <!-- -->stated<!-- --> that Cars and Coffee Gem would invest $23 million over three years <!-- -->with<!-- --> Capital Zone Warehousing to purchase cigars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">They were to be stored and sold by Capital Zone Warehousing on Cars and Coffee Gem\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In reality, there was allegedly no such agreement between both companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chen Xiuling is also believed to have submitted the false agreement to cheat JTC Corporation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Through Estelle Lek from a company called Tacel Consultancy, Chen Xiuling allegedly submitted it to JTC around Sept 26, 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She allegedly attempted to induce JTC to approve the assignment of a Jalan Lembah Kallang property to Skyline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The police said that since June, the authorities have issued additional prohibition of disposal orders against 14 properties and seized various bank and securities accounts, with a total estimated value of about $100 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">This brings <a

data-testid=\"typography-test-id\">the total value of assets seized<\/span><\/a> and\/or prohibited related to the Prince Holding Group to more than $700 million, so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">On Nov 6, Deputy Public Prosecutor Magdalene Huang asked for a six-day remand for Chen Xiuling for further investigations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She appeared in court via video-link from Central Police Division, and was represented by lawyers Thong Chee Kun and Josephine Chee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The prosecutor added she might abscond if released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chen Xiuling told the court she objected to being remanded, as she wanted to rest at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The court granted the prosecution\u2019s application for her to remain in remand, and she was not offered bail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-primary font-tertiary-body-baseline-regular\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Her case will be mentioned again on Nov 12.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"portrait inline-media-wrapper\" style=\"--aspect-article-portrait:1140 \/ 760\"
