SINGAPORE: Su Jianfeng, the last of 10 foreigners arrested in the S$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 11 ½ 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 Friday (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 and 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 in 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. - The Straits Times/ANN
