新加坡：一名涉案金额达30亿新元（约23亿美元）洗钱案的囚犯的哥哥因收受超过1700万新元的犯罪所得被判处12个月监禁。这些款项被用于购买圣淘沙的一栋豪华别墅等用途。
SINGAPORE: The older brother of a convict in the S$3 billion (US$2.3 billion) money laundering case has been sentenced to 12 months' jail over the receipt of more than S$17 million in criminal proceeds. The sum was used to buy a luxury bungalow in Sentosa, among other things.
54岁的中国籍男子张瑞生于周一（10月19日）认罪，承认一项持有犯罪所得的罪名。
Zhang Ruisheng, a 54-year-old Chinese national, pleaded guilty on Monday (Oct 19) to one count of possessing the benefits of criminal conduct.
他的弟弟张瑞金是该起价值数十亿美元洗钱案中最初被捕的10名罪犯之一，曾于2024年因伪造和洗钱罪被判处15个月监禁。
His younger brother, Zhang Ruijin, was one of the 10 original criminals arrested over the billion-dollar money laundering case and had been sentenced to 15 months' jail in 2024 for forgery and money laundering.
张瑞生持工作准证在新加坡居住，据称受雇于金鹰家族办公室，担任“投资顾问”一职。
Ruisheng was in Singapore on a work pass and was purportedly employed by Golden Eagle Family Office as an "investment advisor".
金鹰家族办公室的董事是他的弟弟张瑞金及张瑞金的妻子林宝莹。林宝莹是该起价值数十亿美元案中10名被判刑人士中唯一的女性，10名来自中国的罪犯在新加坡扎根，并通过该国金融体系洗钱获利。林宝莹也曾于2024年因其在案中的角色被判处15个月监禁。
Golden Eagle's directors were his younger brother Ruijin and Ruijin's wife, Lin Baoying. Lin was the sole female among the 10 sentenced in the billion-dollar case, where 10 criminals from China laid roots in Singapore and ran illegal gains through the country's financial system. She had also been sentenced to 15 months' jail for her role in 2024.
新加坡商业事务局（CAD）于2023年8月开始对张瑞生展开调查，怀疑他涉及伪造罪行，原因是他在2020年向银行提交的文件，用以证明其银行账户中的大额存款来源合法。
The Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) began investigations against Ruisheng in August 2023 on suspected forgery offences over documents he had submitted to a bank justifying large deposits into his bank account in 2020.
CAD查获了一辆丰田威尔法汽车，并对张瑞生以个人名义拥有的圣淘沙湾景道69号房产发出禁止令。
CAD seized a Toyota Vellfire and issued a prohibition order against a property at 69 Cove Drive, Sentosa, which Ruisheng owned in his sole name.
银行账户张瑞生在新加坡拥有一个渣打银行（CIMB）账户，该账户于2020年8月20日开设，开户余额为25万新元。
THE BANK ACCOUNT Ruisheng had a CIMB bank account in Singapore that was opened on Aug 20, 2020, with an opening balance of S$250,000.
他的兄弟和姐妹也在同一家银行开设了账户，并共享同一位客户经理。
His brother and sister-in-law also had bank accounts with CIMB and shared the same relationship manager as Ruisheng.
在2020年8月至9月期间，张瑞生通过其CIMB银行账户收到来自境外的11笔转账，总额约为1760万新元。这些款项来源于两家名为“贝印”和“汉利”的公司。
Between August 2020 and September 2020, Ruisheng received 11 inward transfers from foreign sources totalling about S$17.6 million into his CIMB bank account. These were from two companies called Beiyin and Han Li.
该账户开设后不久进行的大额转账触发了华侨银行的交易监控警报，客户经理根据银行的合规措施，向瑞升询问资金来源的更多信息。
The large transfers made shortly after the account was opened triggered a transaction monitoring alert within CIMB, and the relationship manager approached Ruisheng seeking more information on the source of funds, in line with the bank's compliance measures.
2020年9月9日左右，瑞升解释称，这些转账是由于他在澳门出售一处房产所致。
Around Sep 9, 2020, Ruisheng explained that the transfers were due to the sale of a property in Macau.
他提交了一份日期为2020年8月8日的买卖协议，该协议涉及他本人向一名王健出售澳门的一处商业房产。
He submitted a sales and purchase agreement dated Aug 8, 2020 linked to the purported sale of a commercial property in Macau from himself to a Wang Jian.
该买卖协议据称由瑞升和王健签署，并加盖了北印公司的公章。协议显示，该房产以8770万港元（约1430万新元）的价格出售。
The sales and purchase agreement was purportedly signed by Ruisheng and Wang Jian, bearing the company stamp of Beiyin. The agreement stated that the property was sold for HK$87.7 million (S$14.3 million).
2020年9月23日左右，瑞升向客户经理提交了一份贷款协议。该协议据称显示，他向韩莉贷款了600万新元，并应在协议签署日起六个月和十二个月内分两笔各300万新元收回款项。他称这是一笔无息的友好贷款。
Around Sep 23, 2020, Ruisheng submitted a loan agreement to the relationship manager. The agreement purportedly showed that he had loaned S$6 million to Han Li and was due to receive repayments in two tranches of S$3 million within six and 12 months of the agreement date. He claimed this was a friendly loan, with no interest charged.
客户经理将瑞升的解释和文件转交给了华侨银行的金融犯罪分析团队。然而，这两份文件后来被发现是伪造的。
The relationship manager conveyed Ruisheng's explanation and documentation to CIMB's financial crime analytics team. However, the two documents were discovered to be forged.
瑞升后来承认，他从未与这两家公司有任何往来，也从未在澳门拥有任何房产。
Ruisheng later admitted that he never had any dealings with the two companies and had never owned any properties in Macau.
他还表示，他甚至从未听说过这两家公司，并声称自己没有签署这些文件。
He also said he had never even heard of the two companies and claimed he had not signed the documents.
他的哥哥瑞晋曾因将这份伪造的买卖协议当作真实文件使用而被定罪。
His brother, Ruijin, had been convicted of using the forged sales and purchase agreement as genuine.
用于购房的资金 瑞升将他所收到的钱用于购买房产。他在2020年9月至10月期间，用约1040万新元支付了位于Cove Drive 69号房产的购房款和印花税。
MONEY USED ON PROPERTY Ruisheng had used the money he received to buy property. He used about S$10.4 million to pay for the purchase price and stamp duty for a property at 69 Cove Drive between September and October 2020.
购房完成后，华侨银行根据对交易和所提供文件的审查，决定终止与瑞升的银行业务关系。
After the purchase was completed, CIMB decided to terminate the banking relationship with Ruisheng based on their review of the transactions and documents provided.
在该账户被关闭之前，Ruisheng开了一张支票，试图提取账户中剩余的近500万新加坡元。
Before the account was closed, Ruisheng issued a cheque to withdraw the remaining balance of almost S$5 million in the account.
2021年3月，他又从另一家银行开了一张金额为210万新加坡元的支票，用于支付购买位于79 Cove Drive房产所需的20%定金。
He later issued another cheque in March 2021 for the sum of S$2.1 million from another bank to pay for part of the 20 per cent deposit for the purchase of a property at 79 Cove Drive.
该房产的所有权登记在Ruisheng的另一位兄弟Zhang Ruicai名下。
The property at 79 Cove Drive was held in the sole name of Ruisheng's other brother, Zhang Ruicai.
Ruisheng始终无法令人信服地解释自己是如何获得CIMB账户中的1760万新加坡元的。
Ruisheng later failed to give a satisfactory account for how he came by the S$17.6 million in his CIMB account.
他同意将被没收的丰田Vellfire汽车以及位于79 Cove Drive的房产上缴给国家。
He agreed to have the seized Toyota Vellfire and the 69 Cove Drive property forfeited to the state.
Ruisheng的兄弟Ruijin也被责令将大约1.18亿新加坡元的资产上缴给国家，这大约是警方最初没收的资产的90%。
Ruisheng's brother Ruijin had been ordered to forfeit around S$118 million of his assets to the state, about 90 per cent of the assets originally seized by the police.
副检察官Jordon Li在判决中要求对Ruisheng判处13个月监禁，并将其案件与Ruijin的案件进行了比较。
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jordon Li sought 13 months' jail, comparing Ruisheng's case with his brother Ruijin's.
Jordon Li指出，两兄弟都使用了相同的伪造文件来为资金转移提供“正当理由”。
Mr Li said both brothers had used essentially the same forged document to justify the transfers into their respective bank accounts.
他强调：“洗钱是一种严重犯罪行为，它使犯罪分子能够获取、隐瞒并享受其犯罪所得。”
He said money laundering is a serious offence that enables criminals to receive, withhold and enjoy the proceeds of their crimes.
Ruisheng由Lee & Lee律师事务所的Julian Tay律师和Anthony Wong律师代理。
Ruisheng was represented by Mr Julian Tay and Mr Anthony Wong from Lee & Lee.
Julian Tay律师表示，Ruisheng在犯罪活动中所起的作用较为有限，并且他已经主动交出了大部分资产；“至少这表明了他有悔意。”他还补充说，Ruisheng虽然是一名“初犯”，但平时一直遵守法律。
Mr Tay pointed to his client's "limited role" in the criminal enterprise and the "significant" surrender of his assets. "At the very minimum, it evinces his remorse," said the lawyer, adding that his client was a "mature first-time offender" who otherwise led a "law-abiding life".
根据法律规定，Ruisheng因持有通过犯罪行为获得的财产，可能被判处最高3年监禁、最高15万新加坡元的罚款，或两者并罚。由于他的罪行涉及多次违法行为，因此最高处罚被加倍。
For possessing property that represents the benefits of criminal conduct, Ruisheng could have been sentenced to a maximum of three years' jail, a fine of up to S$150,000, or both. As his charge contained multiple instances, the maximum penalties were doubled.
