The court sentenced a man to an additional six months’ jail on the charge of his involvement in contraband cigarette activities at the Singapore Malay National Organisation (PKMS) Building.
Indonesian Atlis Suryanto, 41, was found guilty of transporting S$80,000 from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia, where he gave the money to a person called “Indra” on three instances between July and September 2011. The court, in the sentencing today, was told that there were three shipments of the smuggled goods.
On each instance, Suryanto came to Singapore before the shipment reached to collect the advance payment and take cigarette orders from a Singaporean known as “Ali Asjadi” at the PKMS Building. The money was collected and would then be passed on to “Indra” in Batam. Suryanto would return to Singapore to assist with the loading, on the day of the shipment unloading and transportation.
He was paid by Ali and Indra for his efforts; he would be paid S$150 by “Ali” and 5 million Indonesia Rupiah (more than S$600) by “Indra” for each shipment. Suryanto was found to have removed the illegal profits from Singapore’s authority after the authorities received information in late September 2011. Suryanto is currently serving a 15-month jail term.
Suryanto along with three others were caught last September with contraband cigarettes at PKMS Building by Singapore Customs officers. More than 2,400 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes were detained.
