Under international law, Singapore must implement United Nations Security Council sanctions and resolutions against North Korea to counter its nuclear weapons programme.UNSC resolutions prohibit the facilitation or engagement of ship-to-ship transfers of all refined petroleum products with North Korean-flagged vessels.

Low's job at the firm included printing out and tallying invoices related to its business dealings. He also reviewed contracts and explained their contents to Benito Aloria Yap, another company director. Yap also instructed that Low's iMac, which was used in Yuk Tung Energy's day-to-day operations, be removed.

CAD was able to obtain some information and documents about Yuk Tung Energy's operations, including spreadsheets detailing the company's oil sales report.

According to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs impact statement cited in court documents, Low's actions had a negative impact on Singapore's international reputation.
