Investigations revealed that Lo had been instructed by an unknown individual over a social messaging platform to deliver the cigarettes and collect cash payments from the recipients.

The Singapore Customs statement said: “Lo was aware that these funds, which he had assisted to deposit into the six bank accounts, were criminal proceeds derived from the sale of duty-unpaid cigarettes.” From April 6 to 19, 2022, Lo Kwang Meng had performed multiple cash deposits into six different bank accounts amounting to $77,000.Vehicles used to commit these offences and the proceeds of sales of duty-unpaid cigarettes can also be seized, said Singapore Customs.
