THREE more men condemned in Singapore’s biggest moneybags- laundering case have been deported, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority( ICA) said on 2 June.
42-year-old Cambodian Su Baolin and 41-year-old Cypriot citizen Su Haijin were deported to Cambodia on May 25 and 28, respectively.
43-year-old Turkish Wang Shuimin was deported to Japan on June 1.
According to court documents, Wang holds passports from China, Vanuatu and Turkey.
The ICA said in April that “the place of deportation (of convicts) depends on the alien’s authorization based on his or her valid passport.”
All three men, who are originally from Fujian, China, are banned from returning to Singapore.
This means that five of the eight people convicted of money laundering in this case were deported.
Su Haijing jumped from the second-floor balcony of an upscale bungalow during a police raid and pleaded guilty to one count of resisting arrest and two counts of money laundering.
Su Baolin pleaded guilty to three counts – two counts of money laundering and one count of facilitating false statements made to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.
In April, Su Baolin and Su Haijin were sentenced to 14 months in prison.
In May, Wang was sentenced to 13 months and six weeks in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of money laundering and one count of submitting a forged document to a bank.
The sentences of the three men were backdated to their arrest date of August 15, 2023, and each served about 9 1/2 months in prison.

They were deported to Cambodia after serving about 8 and a half months of their 13-month sentence.
