Akhalaia Irakli, 46, and Malishava Joni, 55, stole US$74,300 from a money changer by swopping counterfeit United States dollar notes with new ones while exchanging the money.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Dan Pan said that Irakli had decided to target Singapore as he was of the view that Singapore is a rich country. On April 18, they approached the victim — the sole proprietor of a money-changing shop called L1, with the request of purchasing US$1,500 in exchange for Singapore dollars. Court documents did not state its location nor the victim's name.
On April 21, Irakli returned to the shop alone after asking an agent to book flight tickets for him and Joni. Irakli then pretended to pass the black briefcase to the money changer but could not do so as it could not fit through the opening in the glass pane of the counter.
