Cops help Singapore bust Johor money-laundering ring, 3 Malaysians held
KUALA LUMPUR: Cooperation between the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Johor police’s Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) has led to the dismantling of a money laundering syndicate, with three Malaysians arrested in Johor Baru.
“Close information-sharing between MariBank and the ASC identified the Malaysian-based syndicate as the source of a series of scam-linked bank accounts.
“Acting on intelligence supplied by SPF’s Anti-Scam Centre (ASC), the Johor CCID raided the syndicate’s premises on March 17, seizing 83 mobile phones, 45 bank tokens and a computer containing the group’s operating software,” said SPF in a statement.
The operation formed part of a wider transnational anti-scam crackdown spanning 10 jurisdictions, which investigated 7,553 people linked to more than 138,000 scam cases involving estimated losses of about US$752 million (RM2.98 billion), according to the SPF.
The operation, codenamed Operation Frontier+ III, was conducted from March 10 to May 7 in collaboration with law enforcement agencies from Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, Macau, Brunei and Canada.

SPF said the operation led to the arrest of 3,018 people aged between 13 and 85, while nearly 102,000 scam-related bank accounts were frozen, resulting in the seizure of more than US$161 million (RM639.19 million) in illicit funds.
In Singapore, the SPF’s ASC arrested more than 130 people and investigated over 1,000 others linked to more than 3,000 scam cases involving losses exceeding S$69.3 million (RM215.28 million).
“The ASC froze 2,315 bank accounts and seized S$34.9 million (RM108.4 million). The Frontier+ network proved pivotal in cross-border fund recovery efforts, as demonstrated by four successful cases during the operation period,” it said. — BERNAMA
