SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The flashy clothes were gone as the accused in the billion-dollar money laundering case made court appearances on Wednesday (Aug 24), donning generic red T-shirts typically seen on accused persons.
Several looked visibly tired even as they listened intently to an interpreter explain in Mandarin the proceedings, including the charges they were facing.
The 40-year-old Cypriot national, originally from Fujian, China, was arrested outside his residence at 16 Ewart Park. On Wednesday, Su Haijin asked to see his family. District Judge Terence Tay allowed it, and he waved to them via his lawyer’s laptop. The judge had earlier denied another accused, Chen Qingyuan, a phone call with his wife. DPP Edwin Soh said there was a risk of Chen, 33, giving his wife instructions on dissipation of assets and that external parties may also be involved through her.
