Three ex-Singapore Technologies (ST) Marine executives previously charged with corruption appeared in court today facing a total of 1,744 additional charges. The three are accused of making away with S$6.5m ($4.53m) by falsely claiming expenses.

Under Section 477A of Singapore’s Penal Code, each count of the offence of falsification of accounts can attract a jail term of up to 10 years, or a fine, or both.

Two other ST Marine employees are also due in court soon over similar allegations.
