SINGAPORE, Nov. 8 -- Despite being busy evading Singapore authorities, two China-born suspects in a money laundering case still managed to acquire multiple high-value UK properties.

According to the Straits Times, both Su Binghai and Xu Haika, originally from China but with business interests in Singapore, had purchased a staggering amount of properties in 2023 while on the run.

Those purchases were made via their UK-listed firms between July and September 2023.

Just one week after fleeing a Singapore police operation on August 15, 2023, Su's firm bought nine apartments in London worth S$27 million (RM86.5 million).

Xu in the same time period purchased 16 units worth S$42.6 million in London.

He also has substantial assets in Singapo...
