The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has secured the forfeiture of assets worth £12.4 million from Singaporean businessman Su Binghai. The High Court in London approved the seizure under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
The confiscated assets include a collection of rare dinosaur skeletons, luxury apartments in London, and valuable Chinese artworks.
The forfeited items highlight the scale of the case. The seized assets consist of several high-value categories. The collection comprises two Allosaurus skeletons and one Stegosaurus skeleton, which were acquired through Christie’s auction house. Authorities also confiscated nine luxury apartments in London’s Westminster district, valued at £18 million. Another part of the forfeiture includes eleven Chinese artworks, valued at approximately £400,000.

Su Binghai is identified as a primary figure in a massive £2.5 billion money laundering case in Singapore. According to reports, he left Singapore after surrendering assets worth over £240 million.
In the UK case, the court ruled that Su will only receive one quarter of the sales proceeds from the seized assets. Christie’s auction house stated it had complied with all anti-money laundering procedures and fully cooperated with law enforcement.
This forfeiture represents a significant action in a complex, international financial crime investigation.
