S'pore police and Interpol looking for 2 Cambodians involved in $3 billion money-laundering case

Warrants of arrest and Interpol Red Notices were issued against two Cambodian men as part of the ongoing investigations into the group of foreign nationals involved in laundering the proceeds of their overseas organised crime activities.

A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.

The two men, Su Yongcan, 33, and Wang Huoqiang, 29, who both previously held China passports, left Singapore before the police’s operations on Aug 15, 2023.

On that day, the police conducted a massive islandwide blitz resulting in the arrest of nine men and one woman for various offences, including money laundering, forgery and resisting arrest.

As of Jan 19, the value of assets seized or issued with prohibition of disposal orders surpassed $3 billion after adding another 55 properties, five vehicles, 189 luxury bags, 34 pieces of jewellery and five luxury watches.

This now brings the total assets confiscated by the authorities to 207 properties, 77 vehicles, money in bank accounts amounting to more than $1.45 billion and cash of various currencies worth more than $76 million as well as thousands of bottles of liquor and wine, cryptocurrency worth more than $38 million, 68 gold bars, 483 luxury bags, 169 branded watches and 580 pieces of jewellery.

Anyone with information on Su Yongcan or Wang Huoqiang’s whereabouts should call the police hotline at 1800-255-0000 or +65 6255 0000 for overseas callers. You can also submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.
