Indonesian arrested in Singapore over fake banknotes was victim of fraud: lawyer

Translate

The lawyer for an Indonesian businessman arrested in Singapore for allegedly using counterfeit S$10,000 (US$7,830) notes at a casino has said his client was a victim of fraud himself.

The businessman, identified only as Steven, is accused of exchanging 34 fake S$10,000 notes for chips over three visits to the Resorts World Sentosa casino in June. The notes were accepted but later found to be counterfeit.

His lawyer, Dosma Sijabat, told Tempo news magazine on Tuesday that the fake bills did not belong to his client and that he was merely exchanging them for someone else.

Dosma said Steven was asked by three men to convert the 1973-series notes in exchange for a commission. Steven was approached because he used to work in Singapore.
