Prosecutors file two more charges against ex-BSI banker in 1MDB probe
Latest charges could turn spotlight on Hong Kong-based financial services provider Amicorp
Singapore
SINGAPORE prosecutors have slapped another two charges - in addition to nine others filed earlier - on former BSI banker Yeo Jiawei in the ongoing 1Malaysia Development Bhd probe. The new charges could turn the spotlight on yet another entity - Amicorp Group, a Hong Kong-based multinational firm that provides financial services.
According to the charge sheets, Yeo was accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice in March this year by telling one Pinto Jose Renato Carvalho to dispose off his laptop, which likely contained evidence of Yeo's dealings with Amicorp Group, and not to travel to Singapore to avoid being interviewed by the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD).
