    FORMER BSI banker Yeo Jiawei has been sentenced to a jail term of 30 months - the heaviest sentence so far for attempting to pervert the course of justice - in connection with Singapore's largest money-laundering probe linked to the massive 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.

    The sentence meted out on Thursday was significantly more than the four months' jail sought by the defence and slightly under the prosecution's call for a deterrent penalty of three years.
