Update: Singapore police said they didn’t arrest a Chinese national accused of money laundering because they were not asked to do so by authorities in China, even though an Interpol Red Notice had been issued for him.



Singapore police said they didn’t arrest a Chinese national accused of money laundering, because they were not asked to do so by authorities in China, even though an Interpol Red Notice had been issued for him.

Yan Zhenxing, a Singapore permanent resident in his early 40s, was detained on Monday by Indonesian authorities after he arrived at a ferry terminal in Batam, a popular resort island south of the city state. He had travelled there from Singapore, according to Indonesia’s state news agency Antara.

The Indonesian report said Yan is a fugitive wanted by Interpol China for online gambling, and that he is suspected of being involved in a criminal gang that allegedly laundered money. Yan went to Batam for a holiday with his family, the Associated Press reported earlier. Indonesian authorities announced his arrest at a press conference on Thursday, and showed him handcuffed and flanked by immigration officers.

Indonesian authorities have arrested a Chinese man sought by Beijing for allegedly helping transfer and laundering almost $18 million from a criminal online gambling group in China, officials said Thursday.

Yan Zhenxing was detained Monday by immigration officers at a cross-border ferry terminal on Batam island, next to Singapore.

Yuldi Yusman, the Director of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement, said Yan was arrested following an Interpol red notice for him. The notices request law enforcement agencies worldwide to detain or arrest a suspect wanted by a specific country.

Yusman said Yan, a permanent resident of Singapore, was arriving in Batam for holiday with his family when he was detained.

Indonesian authorities brought the suspect, wearing a detainee’s orange shirt and a facemask, to a news conference Thursday in the capital of Jakarta. The suspect did not make any statements and was not asked any questions.

Yusman said that Yan was named as a suspect by police in China’s Inner Mongolia region who allege he was involved in transfering and laundering more than 130 million Chinese Yuan ($17.8 million) from a criminal online gambling group.

He said Yan was handed to Indonesia's National Central Bureau Interpol in Jakarta on Thursday and a decision to deport or to extradite him to China will take some time.

The development raised questions about how Yan had been living in Singapore while there was an Interpol Red Notice — which alerts police about internationally wanted fugitives — for him.

The Singapore Police Force said in response to Bloomberg News queries that it was aware of the Interpol Red Notice against Yan. Under Singapore laws, the notice “does not confer the police with the powers to arrest a fugitive wanted by a foreign jurisdiction”, it said in a joint statement with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority.

“The police would only be able to do so pursuant to an extradition request that fulfills legal requirements. We had not received any request for assistance from the Chinese authorities,” they said.

There wasn’t an Interpol notice for Yan at the point when he was granted permanent residency in Singapore, the agencies added.

They also said Yan “is not currently under any investigation”, and that he wasn’t implicated or investigated in a recent record S$3 billion (US$2.2 billion or RM9.88 billion) money-laundering case that involved many China-born individuals who were residing in Singapore.

The Singapore Police Force and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said in response to CNA's queries that Yan is not currently under any investigation.

"He was not implicated nor investigated in the S$3 billion money laundering case," they added on Dec 7, referring to one of Singapore's largest money laundering probes.

Singapore authorities had not received any request for assistance from the Chinese authorities.

"At the point when Yan was granted PR (permanent residency), there was no Interpol Red Notice against him," they added.
