The Financial Investigation Division II (FID II) investigates terrorism financing offences under the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act (TSOFA). We also facilitate cooperation between CAD and its foreign counterparts to combat transnational crime including money laundering.
The Financial Investigation Division III (FID III) investigates specialised fraud such as insurance fraud, trade financing fraud, counterfeit currencies, maritime fraud, etc. We also investigate complex money laundering offences and perform concealed income analysis into the financial affairs of defendants to assess and apply to court to confiscate their criminal benefits.
The Anti-Scam Command (ASCom) consists of Anti-Scam Investigation Branches, the Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) and Scam Strike Teams:
- The Anti-Scam Investigation Branches (ASIBs) investigate complex cheating and scam cases such as those involving overseas syndicates targeting local victims.
- The Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) investigates scam-related crimes. We disrupt and prevent scam operations so as to mitigate victims’ monetary losses. By establishing direct communications channels and close working relationships with key stakeholders we are able to swiftly freeze accounts, recover funds, reduce losses suffered by victims and conduct timely intervention to prevent victims from falling prey to scams.
- The Scam Strike Teams are formed at each Police Land Division to allow us to take swifter action against scams, such as those involving money mules in Singapore who facilitate the operations of overseas scammers. These teams work closely with the ASC and ASIB in joint investigations and operations to tackle and solve syndicated and transnational scam cases.
The Policy & Operations Division (POD) develops strategies to address commercial and financial crimes as well as to strengthen Singapore’s anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism regime and provides operational procedures and guidelines for CAD Divisions and Commercial Crime Units in Police Land Divisions.
