10 suspects have since been convicted within a year of their arrest. Around S$940 million of their assets have been forfeited to the State, which is more than 90% of what we seized from them.
Investigations are ongoing against the 17 other suspects who are currently overseas.
The experience and lessons gleaned from this operation will be used to strengthen our regulations and enforcement.
Conclusion
To conclude, Singapore is honoured to have held the Presidency of the FATF over the past two years, and we would like to thank all FATF delegations for your support. The accomplishments over the past two years would not have been possible without your continued commitment to our shared mission and contributions to the FATF’s work.
I am confident that the FATF will continue to make significant progress under the incoming Mexican Presidency, where we will embark on the upcoming round of mutual evaluations to help members strengthen their regulatory and enforcement regimes in the face of ever-evolving threats.
On that note, I wish you a fruitful and productive Plenary meeting in Singapore.
