Billion-dollar money laundering case: Three men deported to Japan, Cambodia


THREE LATEST DEPORTATIONS

Su Baolin, 42, pleaded guilty to three out of 13 charges and was sentenced to 14 months’ jail in April. Two charges were related to money laundering while the other was for making false representations to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). 

More than S$3 billion in assets were seized or frozen in relation to his case, likely making it one of the largest money laundering operations in the world. 

Around S$100 million worth of assets, consisting of cash, vehicles, properties, luxury items, and alcohol were seized from Su during investigations. This included about S$3 million in proceeds from the sale of vehicles such as a Ferrari 488 Spider, Rolls Royce Phantom and Bentley Flying Spur. 

Authorities also confiscated jewellery worth about S$2 million and two country club memberships. 

Su Haijin, 41, was also sentenced to 14 months in jail in April.

During the raid last year, he jumped off a second-floor balcony at his residence in Ewart Park in an effort to evade arrest. 

He fractured both feet and injured his wrist, but managed to hobble down a flight of steps and escape through a side gate. Su then hid in a drain where he was later found and arrested. 

Su pleaded guilty to three out of 14 charges. These were for resisting lawful arrest and possessing around S$1.4 million in criminal proceeds through a shell company Yihao Cyber Technologies.

About S$170 million worth of assets consisting of cash, vehicles and luxury items were seized from Su.

These included 21 bank accounts containing about S$45.6 million, 13 properties including two Sentosa houses and three North Bridge Road shophouses, as well as variety of vehicles and luxury items.
