Chinese nationals charged

A section of Trinidad and Tobago’s Chinese business community has come under sustained scrutiny from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) White Collar Division as investigators probe suspected money laundering and illegal gambling activities, according to a senior police source.

The officer was responding to questions from the Sunday Express about suspected money laundering and illegal gambling activities involving some Chinese nationals and businesses in Trinidad and Tobago.

The senior TTPS source stressed that investigators are focused on specific individuals and business operations and are not targeting any ethnic group. According to the source, the enquiries are intelligence-led and guided by financial evidence, suspicious transactions and other indicators of alleged criminal activity.
