3 alleged members of organised crime group accused of offences linked to scams

SINGAPORE - Three alleged members of a locally linked organised crime group were charged in court on May 13 with offences linked to scams, including misusing computer systems.

Low Zhi Wei, 35, faces five charges; Dillon Jang Wei Hong, 27, faces nine; and Shuek Jin Hui, 36, has the most number of charges – 11.

Court documents stated that Jang, Shuek and other unknown parties allegedly worked together to deal with the benefits of criminal conduct totalling more than $284,000 in September 2023.

Between August 2023 and August 2024, Shuek, Jang and Low also allegedly worked together to misuse a computer system and retained seven accounts from a bank.

The three are accused of committing similar offences linked to 26 accounts from a second bank between April and August 2024, as well as two accounts linked to a third bank from June to August that year.

They are accused of possessing the access codes for these 35 accounts.

Details about the owners of the accounts and how the trio allegedly got hold of the codes were not disclosed in court documents.

Separately, Shuek and Jang also allegedly worked together to retain five more bank accounts from three banks between February and August 2024.

On or before August 2024, all three men were purportedly part of a conspiracy to cheat a bank by duping it into believing that a woman would be using one of its accounts.

Later that month, Shuek was in a lock-up at the Central Police Division when he allegedly failed to comply with a police officer’s orders, refusing to provide the username and password needed to access certain computers.

Shuek and Low are represented by lawyer Gavin Neo from WongPartnership while Mr Low Hui Hui from CrossBorders law firm represents Jang.

The Singaporean trio’s pre-trial conference will take place on May 19.
