A FORMER relationship manager who committed a series of forgery and money laundering offences involving more than $756,000 was jailed for 74 months on Monday. Nelson Daniel Prajudo, 34, an Indonesian, pleaded guilty to 16 of 149 charges of forgery for the purpose of cheating, simple forgery and transferring benefits from criminal conduct. He was with Van Gogh Preferred Banking International, ABN AMRO Bank, when he made unauthorised remittance transfers from several clients' ABN bank accounts between December 2007 and February this year. These transfers were made to three PTBank Central Asia bank accounts in Indonesia belonging to three Indonesians, including his ex-wife, Dwi Indah Maya Dewi. Besides 114 forgery charges, he also faced another 35 charges of transferring the money he obtained from the offences out of Singapore. As a result, ABN suffered a loss totalling $756,000. Prajudo, who had the remaining 133 charges taken into consideration, could have been jailed for up to four years and/or fined for simple forgery; and up to 10 years and/or fined for forgery for the purpose of cheating. For money laundering, he could have been fined up to $500,000 and/or jailed or up to seven years.
