Font size

新加坡外交部和警方周五(9月4日)发表联合声明称,此次逮捕行动发生在中国广西省,是针对涉嫌传销及相关违法犯罪活动的一次执法行动。

新加坡外交部兼内政部第二部长沈颖对媒体表示,新加坡政府不干涉其他国家的司法程序和调查,但已经向被捕的本国公民提供领事协助。

新加坡外交部表示,新加坡驻北京大使馆和驻广州总领事馆人员已三次探视全部52名被捕的新加坡人,以了解他们的身心状况。沈颖本人也已会见多数被捕者的家属。

声明呼吁, 新加坡人在受邀参与招募人员或需预先支付大笔款项的项目时(无论是在海外还是本地),务必保持谨慎。

中国尚未直接证实这一消息。在9月4日举行的中国外交部例行记者会上,外交部发言人郭嘉昆在回应提问时表示,中方依法查处在华外国公民违法犯罪案件,并充分保障当事人合法权利,“进一步的消息建议向中方主管部门询问”。

新加坡曾发生多起涉及中国公民的重大案件,这些人被指控从事或协助跨境犯罪活动。

据法新社报道,2023年,新加坡警方在一场大规模反洗钱行动中,逮捕了10名中国公民及出生于中国的外国籍人士;该案最终涉及约24亿新元的资产被查封或冻结,其中包括豪宅、车辆、现金及加密货币。
