A Malaysian national who laundered $6.2 million in five months in Australia and sent it to China was today jailed for a maximum of five years and nine months.
Lai Yean Wong was arrested in Camberwell last November with $63,000 cash, six mobile phones and cash-deposit receipts for $191,000 in his backpack.
The County Court was recently told Australian Federal Police also found almost 1000 fake credit cards in his Mitcham bedroom.
