Su Haijin is the second of 10 foreigners linked to Singapore’s largest money laundering case to be convicted.SINGAPORE - Cypriot national Su Haijin, who jumped from the second-floor balcony of a good class bungalow during a police raid, has been convicted of resisting arrest and money laundering.Su is the second of 10 foreigners linked to Singapore's largest money laundering case to be convicted and sentenced.
The defence lawyer said: "He has given up more than what the charges are referring to and due credit should be given." The police asked Su to open the door but he did not respond. The police entered the bedroom, but could not find him.He injured himself and fractured his feet and wrist. Despite this, he hobbled down a flight of stairs to flee his home from the side gate and hid in a drain.Su underwent surgery for his injuries and appeared via video link in several earlier court mentions from the hospital.
The Straits Times reported in September 2023 that Wang held multiple directorships and secretarial and shareholder positions in 185 firms. He had his registration as a qualified individual cancelled by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority in January.Su was involved in unlawful remote gambling, and there are reasons to believe that funds were proceeds from these illegal remote gambling activities.
The DPP said Su's resistance to his arrest increases his culpability, adding: "He refused to unlock his room door, jumped, and despite being injured, he went downstairs and hid until police found him." The lawyer said his client just wanted to live in Singapore and hence relocated his family here around seven years ago.
