Over the past week, The Straits Times reported how several charities received donations from some of the 10 accused in the case.
It added: “Charities that have received donations from the persons of interest and/or related entities should carefully consider the action you will take in respect of these donations, bearing in mind the potential legal and reputational risks if it comes to light that your charity had accepted donations from the persons of interest and/or related entities.”
After an extensive probe in 2022, the police uncovered a web of people allegedly transferring money to Singapore from abroad that was suspected to be earned from criminal activities. Some of the people were connected by family ties.The 10 suspects are Su Baolin, Su Haijin, Chen Qingyuan, Su Wenqiang, Lin Baoying, Zhang Ruijin, Wang Dehai, Su Jianfeng, Vang Shuiming and Wang Baosen.
Among the organisations that confirmed they had received money from the 10 accused was Rainbow Centre, which said it had received $72,450 from three of the 10 people, and it will be reviewing its policies.
