SINGAPORE - An administrative officer was jailed for eight months on Monday for dishonestly receiving stolen funds and transferring them.
Aslinda Othman, 43, who faced seven charges, had admitted to receiving $94,254 in her Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation account, having reason to believe the amount to be stolen property, on Sept 11 last year.
Two days later, she transferred $50,000, which represented her benefits from criminal conduct, to Keoagile Letshabo's CIMB bank Berhad account.
A district court heard that she came to know an online character named Walter Samuel through Tagged, an online social website. She had never met him before.
