Final convict in $3 billion money laundering case deported to Cambodia: ICA

SINGAPORE – Su Jianfeng, the last of 10 foreigners arrested in the $3 billion money laundering case to be sent to jail, has been deported to Cambodia.

He had been the last convict in the case remaining in Singapore, and had served about 11½ months of his 17-month jail term.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) told The Straits Times on July 27 that Su was deported on July 26 and barred from re-entering Singapore. The Dubai property broker was

sentenced to 17 months’ jail

on June 10.

The Vanuatu national, who is originally from China, pleaded guilty on June 6 to money laundering and forgery. Another 12 charges were taken into consideration. They ranged from forgery to money laundering to manpower-related offences over hiring a personal chef without a valid work pass.

The 10 foreigners were arrested in August 2023 when the police conducted islandwide raids in

a money laundering probe

that saw more than $3 billion worth of assets seized. Another 17 people who fled the country during the probe are on the run.

An ICA spokesman said in June that the convicts were deported on the earliest possible flights upon completing their jail sentences.

Su Wenqiang and Wang Baosen

were the first two convicted men

to leave Singapore on May 6. They were deported to Cambodia after serving about 8½ months of their 13-month jail terms.

Su Baolin and Su Haijin were deported to Cambodia on May 25 and 28 respectively, while Vang Shuiming was

deported to Japan

on June 1.

Chen Qingyuan, Zhang Ruijin and Lin Baoying were deported to Cambodia on June 15. 

In July,

Wang Dehai was deported

after serving about 11 months of his 16-month jail term.
