SINGAPORE — Lawyers for a man implicated in a sprawling billion-dollar money laundering case in Singapore — which has since ballooned
If his remand was not revoked, the Drew & Napier lawyers for Vang Shuiming sought to have"liberal" access to their client, instead of that which was subject to the Commercial Affairs Department's operational constraints.
Instead, the prosecutor had relied on"evidence from the bar", making"bare assertions" and pointing to the risk of collusion when the prosecutor was not party to investigations himself, said Mr Wong. The prosecution, a three-person team led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Ng Yiwen, urged the judge to dismiss the defence's applications.
In Vang's case, more than S$200 million assets have been seized. More than S$962,000 in cash was seized from his residence; and he had purchased 11 properties, said Mr Ng.
