00:00We identified ourselves that we are from the Singapore Police Force.
00:03He was in a state of shock.
00:04We found Chinese and Vanatu passports belonging to him
00:08and we seized them on the spot.
00:10He's a Turkish national and he also has a Cambodian nationality as well.
00:17On August 15, 2023, police raided a house along Bishop's Gate,
00:22the residence of Vang Shui Ming.
00:24When we entered the bungalow,
00:27we saw three cars that were parked at the compound.
00:31And once we entered, we identified ourselves
00:34and told him that we are from the Singapore Police Force.
00:37At that time, we arrested him and asked him to show us around his house.
00:41We asked him to open up the safe
00:43where we found various travel documents belonging to him
00:47and also there's cash that was lying in the safe.
00:51I was at the scene for about two to three hours,
00:54securing the needed evidence.
00:57And thereafter, I brought him back to the police gentleman complex.
01:00Police obtained Vang's financial records
01:03and asked about the source of his wealth.
01:05Through 28 sessions of interviews,
01:08that spans from August 2023 to April 2024.
01:13I think I posed more than a thousand questions to him.
01:16He gave three distinct accounts of how he came by the wealth,
01:21which were all contradictory to each other.
01:23He could not satisfactory account for those funds,
01:27which led to the money laundering charges
01:29and corresponding forgery charges that were handed to him.
01:33Vang was handed a total of 22 charges.
01:53Vang was convicted on two counts of money laundering and one count of forgery.
01:58He was sentenced to 13 months and six weeks jail in May 2024.
02:03At the conclusion of the case, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction
02:08because I played a part in ensuring that Singapore's
02:12international financial system is clean
02:15and it's not a safe haven for money launders.
02:19All 10 individuals arrested in the money laundering case
02:22were convicted and jailed.
02:24More than $3 billion in assets were seized.
