SINGAPORE - Wang Dehai, the last of 10 foreigners to plead guilty in the $3 billion money laundering case, has been deported to the UK. He was deported on July 6 after serving about 11 months of his 16-month jail term. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) told The Straits Times on July 8 that Wang, 35, has been barred from re-entering Singapore. The Cypriot national, who was originally from China, was sentenced to 16 months’ jail in June after pleading guilty to one money laundering charge. He agreed to forfeit more than $49 million of his assets to the state. On July 2, Minister of State for Home Affairs Sun Xueling said in Parliament that, while those with multiple passports can indicate which country they would like to be deported to, Singapore will deport them to countries most likely to accept them. Wang’s deportation means that nine of the 10 convicted in Singapore’s largest money laundering case have left the country. Read more
