A total of 358 men and 142 women, aged between 16 and 76, were rounded up to assist in investigations for their suspected involvement as scammers or money mules.
It was one of two island-wide operations conducted by the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) and the seven police land divisions between Feb 10 and 24.
The 500 suspects are believed to be involved in more than 1,712 cases of scams, comprising mainly investment scams, job scams, e-commerce scams, phishing scams, loan scams, and government officials impersonation scams, where victims reportedly lost over $8.6 million.
Police investigations are ongoing for the alleged offences of cheating, money laundering or providing payment services without a licence.
In the second operation, the Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) of CAD and six banks conducted live interventions by analysing the fund flows of more than 80 bank accounts, which were surfaced in investment and job scam reports.
The six banks are CIMB, DBS, HSBC, OCBC, Standard Chartered Bank and UOB.
The ASC, seven police land divisions and banks worked together to engage unsuspecting victims who had been transferring money into these scam-tainted bank accounts.
More than 680 unsuspecting victims were alerted that they could have fallen prey to scams and were advised to stop any further monetary transfers.
Many of these victims only realised that they had been deceived after they were engaged and convinced by the police.
Scam proceeds amounting to more than $76,000 were seized and the police further prevented these scam victims from financial losses amounting to more than $260,000.
Nazi relativisation: What is the story behind Nuremberg 2.0 and the Nuremberg Code?
16 Mar
By Erika Balzer, originally published in German on Belltower News
Coronavirus deniers and opponents to the vaccine claim that politicians are violating the Nuremberg Code through the introduction of vaccines and measures to curtail the pandemic. They are now calling for a “Nuremberg 2.0”. What do they mean by this and how are they trivialising Nazi crimes in the process? .
The Nuremberg Code, a set of research ethics, was created to ensure that such savage experiments and murders would never again be carried out “in the name of science”: “The Nuremberg Code states that voluntary and informed consent is required for clinical studies. Human beings may not be forced into taking part in studies or experiments through violence or unlawful measures. Binding standards were agreed on that still have to be complied with in studies today,” explains Baumann. Ten guiding principles were formulated to govern human experiments and provide an ethical framework for areas such as genetic engineering, transplants and terminal care.
Opponents to the vaccine and measures to curtail the pandemic believe these principles have been violated. They accuse the authorities of using pressure tactics and discriminating against people in the form of the vaccinated/recovered (“2G”) or vaccinated/recovered/tested (“3G”) rule, with the vaccines themselves constituting inhumane experiments. They see vaccinated persons as human guinea pigs, believing the vaccines contain poison. The aim? To bring about a genocide. .
Now, however, these calls are experiencing a revival. One example is on stickers, in Telegram posts and in legal challenges – as instigated by Reiner Fuellmich, for example. Fuellmich was the candidate for the German chancellorship for the “Querdenker” movement party “Die Basis” and works as a lawyer in Germany and California. Since the start of the pandemic, he has been seeking to set up an “international corona tribunal” for those responsible for the pandemic measures as well as a new “Nuremberg trial” for producers of PCR tests. His sights are set on virologist Christian Drosten, president of the Robert Koch Institute Lothar Wieler, and politicians who have followed the advice of scientists.
Fuellmich exists within a bubble of conspiracy ideologies, refers to the “Great Reset” and believes the media and state propaganda are full of lies. Together with the lawyer Viviane Fischer, he founded the “Corona Panel”, through which he aims to bring to trial those responsible for the measures to mitigate the pandemic. According to an investigation by the “anti-fake news” blog volksverpetzer, Fuellmich has already filed multiple suits in Canada and the USA that deal with the reliability of PCR tests. All claims have been unsuccessful so far. The next class action lawsuit is currently being prepared by the “Corona Panel”.

This is a common fantasy for the antivaccine activists: At least weekly I receive a tweet/email threat warning how my fate will be to be hanged at Nuremberg. In another sick or bizarre spin, some of them seem eager to use Nazi imagery to make their point. It all gets a bit dreary https://t.co/9hx50Y1Imc

In the late-'90s, an anti-abortion extremist named Neal Horsley published the names and locations of abortion doctors in the U.S. on his website. He called the list the Nuremberg Files.

How did antivaxxers manage to spin a study showing myocarditis following Covid vaccination is milder than myocarditis following Covid into a story that vaccination was worse than infection? Cindy and I show how they did it and explain why they are wrong.https://t.co/4KNoQ9d3uk
The moral of the story: Don’t bull shit as far as data from Singapore is concerned.
..
Perinatal death: Infant deaths under age 7 days and fetal deaths at 28 completed weeks of gestation or more.
..
Someone released figures purportedly for Singapore, claiming that the perinatal death rate has shot up for 2022. Perhaps to blame the Covid-19 vaccine?
The tweet claimed that 2022 had a 4.6% Perinatal Mortality rate. However, Singapore has released the figures, and for 2022, the rate is 1.457%.
