operation against a remote gambling syndicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gan was found to be the mastermind behind the creation and issuance of online betting accounts for six co-offenders on various illegal websites, facilitating lottery, soccer, and horse betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gan was given a 26-month prison sentence and a fine of S$160,000 on 12 July 2018 for running a Singapore-based remote gambling service and taking illegal 4D and TOTO bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was done in violation of the Remote Gambling Act of 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Price of Crime: Confiscation of Unexplained Wealth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following his conviction, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.police.gov.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Police<\/a> sought a confiscation order against Gan to forfeit the benefits derived from his criminal conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through thorough financial investigations, they found that Gan had accumulated unexplained wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Court ordered the recovery of approximately S$110,332.67 on 13 March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated under Section 7(1) of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act 1992, anyone convicted of a serious offence may have their benefits from criminal conduct confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
