Indonesian authorities have arrested a Chinese man for allegedly helping transfer and laundering almost USD18 million from a criminal online gambling group in China, officials said yesterday.
Yan Zhenxing was detained on Monday by immigration officers at a cross-border ferry terminal on Batam island, next to Singapore.
The Director of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement Yuldi Yusman 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 yesterday 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 transferring and laundering more than 130 million yuan (USD17.8 million) from a criminal online gambling group.
He said Yan was handed to Indonesia’s National Central Bureau Interpol in Jakarta yesterday and a decision to deport or to extradite him to China will take some time.
