More than $8 million in jewellery, vehicles and properties have been seized across three states in an alleged money laundering scheme by Chinese nationals.
Australian Federal Police (AFP) have restrained the goods and property in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast, as part of a probe into offshore funds allegedly being laundered in Australia.
The investigation comes after the Chinese Ministry of Public Security requested AFP help in 2016 to identify possible Chinese nationals involved in the illegal scheme.
