Two men convicted in Singapore’s largest money laundering case were deported to Cambodia on Monday.

Su Wenqiang and Wang Baosen, both 32, are barred from re-entering Singapore, an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) spokesperson said in response to CNA’s queries.

Both men were sentenced to 13 months’ jail in April. CNA has contacted the authorities to ask why the two men were deported weeks after they were sentenced.

Su was the first suspect to plead guilty in the case and was sentenced on April 2. He admitted to 11 charges of money laundering, possessing proceeds from illegal remote gambling offences and lying to get work passes for himself and his wife.

Authorities had seized more than S$5.9 million (US$4.4 million) from Su in the form of cash, vehicles, luxury items and liquor.

Su is a Cambodian national whose passport states that he is from Fujian, China.
