Singapore - Singapore’s powerful anti-graft body issued an arrest notice for one of the city-state’s richest people, his company said on Friday, widening a probe into rare high-level corruption.
Hotel tycoon Ong Beng Seng was given “a notice of arrest and has posted bail”, Hotel Properties Limited said in a filing with the Singapore Exchange.
The billionaire was asked by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) “to provide information in relation to his interactions” with Transport Minister S. Iswaran, a company spokesman said.
