Police said that those arrested had passports from China, Cambodia, Turkey and Vanuatu.The group was \"suspected to be involved in laundering the proceeds of crime from their overseas organised crime activities including scams and online gambling,\" according to the police.\"We have zero tolerance for the use of Singapore as a safe haven for criminals,\" said David Chew, director of the police's Commercial Affairs Department, which investigates white-collar crime.\"Our message to these criminals is simple - if we catch you, we will arrest you. If we find your ill-gotten gains, we will seize them. We will deal with you to the fullest extent of our laws,\" he added.Police said another 12 people were assisting with investigations, while eight others are currently on its wanted list.The country's central bank and financial regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, said it had been in contact with financial institutions \"where the potentially tainted funds have been identified\".It added that it would take \"firm action\" against institutions which did not meet official anti-money laundering requirements.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":209887945081008,"gmtCreate":1692264392585,"gmtModify":1692264396698,"author":{"id":"3586470645934044","authorId":"3586470645934044","name":"ramius75","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9bf23146914ff935921288dd903ce4fa","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3586470645934044","idStr":"3586470645934044"},"htmlText":"🎉🎉🎉","listText":"🎉🎉🎉","text":"🎉🎉🎉","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/209887945081008","repostId":1125182542,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":209886638821576,"gmtCreate":1692264237243,"gmtModify":1692264241205,"author":{"id":"3583465977097611","authorId":"3583465977097611","name":"Ghuna","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2083449d33291e1e0e35b026e7cad96","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3583465977097611","idStr":"3583465977097611"},"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TRIP\">$TripAdvisor(TRIP)$ &nbsp;</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TRIP\">$TripAdvisor(TRIP)$ &nbsp;</a>","text":"$TripAdvisor(TRIP)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/209886638821576","repostId":1125182542,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1125182542"}
