POLICE confirmed that businessman Victor Chin Boon Loong is among 10 people arrested on suspicion of involvement in money laundering activities.

They were arrested through Op Viking, which was carried out between October 15 last year and January 13.

Bukit Aman Anti-Money Laundering (Amla) investigation team chief Datuk Fazlisyam Abd Majid said Chin was arrested in December last year and later released on police bail.

"We do not rule out the possibility of recalling him to record his statement.

"This depends on any new evidence that requires further clarification. Any recall will be done according to standard procedures," he told a press conference today.

It was reported earlier this month that luxury watches, jewellery, cash — including foreign currencies — and two cars were seized during raids on several premises linked to Chin.
