CPIB assistant director charged with 21 offences engages lawyer
SINGAPORE: The assistant director of the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) charged in July with 21 offences including misappropriation and forgery has engaged a defence lawyer to make representations.
39-year-old Edwin Yeo Seow Hiong has engaged Tan Hee Joek to represent him.
Yeo is accused of eight counts of misappropriation totalling more than S$1.7 million.
The head of field research and technical support allegedly misappropriated the money intended to be used for buying goods required by the department.
Yeo faces one count of forgery.
He is also charged with 12 counts under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act.
For these 12 charges, he allegedly used some S$241,000 that was deposited into his bank account for gaming activities at Marina Bay Sands Casino.
The offences were said to have been committed between 2008 and September 2012.
During the last court session, the bespectacled man asked for time to settle his family affairs, as well as make his own representations and prepare for mitigation.
At that time, Yeo said he did not plan to engage a counsel and also asked for a lower bail amount.
Bail was fixed at S$500,000 and remains the same.
If he is convicted of misappropriation, Yeo could face life imprisonment and a fine for every charge.
For forgery, one can be jailed up to four years and fined.
If found guilty of using benefits from criminal conduct, Yeo could face a maximum of seven years' jail and a S$500,000 fine on each charge.
The case will be mentioned on 19 September. - CNA/xq
What do you think is needed for field research and technical support?
Like what? Any detailed breakdown would be most helpful. Taxpayers money used indiscriminately and without accountability, as usual.
hmm, Soursops, Pomelos & Toothpicks.
Isn't ET the fall guy for this? Was he the head when the crook started to take money? Else he's just a scapegoat
ET and previous director, Soh Kee Hean were both issued with warning letters. Offences first took place while latter was director.
Pussies and assholes.
I believe skh already retired,
If this is the case, what harm can a warning leter does to him
Nope, still working. Dy CEO or something like that. Handling real estate agents I think. Demotion for him.
that's VERY LIGHT for something as big as this. any other country head roll already.
