Bloomberg| SG must now decide what to do with a fortune in forfeited assets from its biggest laundering scandal

[Houri]

In a Singapore courtroom on Friday, the last of those arrested for their involvement in the island nation’s biggest laundering case pleaded guilty, paving the way for the next steps in the S$3 billion ($2.2 billion) scandal.

The city-state must now decide what to do with a fortune in forfeited assets, from luxury properties to collectible ornamental bears and branded handbags. There’s also several hundred million dollars of local and foreign currencies in accounts at some of the world’s top wealth managers. Credit Suisse — now owned by UBS Group AG, and Citigroup Inc. held the largest amounts on deposit so far for the convicted, according to court filings reviewed by Bloomberg. Others with significant exposure include the country’s three largest banks — DBS Group Holdings Ltd., Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. and United Overseas Bank Ltd.

I don't think we can grab any evidence without the help from China.
Some money or most money must be given back to China.

All these people have very light sentences.

We resolved that the forfeited money be distributed as dividends to all singaporeans. Do not use the forfeited money as reserve for ministers' salaries.
