Chinanews, Shanghai, June 18 – The Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court began to hold a court hearing of the largest money laundering1 case in China last Friday. The suspects in the case collected foreign currencies abroad and deposited them into dozens of individual savings2 accounts in China. They then converted the money into Renminbi. In two years' time, the total amount of money involved in the laundering amounted to well over 5 billion yuan, the Shanghai Evening Post reported.
In the beginning of 2006, bank clerks in the Bank of Communications Pudong Branch noticed that every day, a man would come to their bank to exchange a large sum of foreign money into Renminbi. When the bank clerks asked him to apply for the VIP service, the man turned down their request. Later, the bank clerks traced the man's bank information record and strongly suspected the man was involved in money laundering. Through investigation3, it was found that the man was named Li Qirong and was a Singaporean. Police found that he had collected a large sum of money and transferred it abroad. He couldn't identify the sources of his money. At the end of 2006, Li Qirong was sued by the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court on charges of illegal transactions. Several other people who were also suspected to have been involved in the case, named Luo Huaitao, Mo Guoji, and Chen Peixiang, were also brought to court. It was found that from January 2004 to April 2006, the four people opened 68 individual savings accounts in 11 commercial banks in China, trying to make gains by carrying on a lot of transaction deals between Renminbi and foreign currencies. The money involved in the transactions amounted to 5.35 billion yuan.
