See Lee Wee's lawyers said she was merely a junior employee learning the ropes from her superiors.
The logo of Wirecard AG is pictured at its headquarters in Aschheim, near Munich, Germany, July 1, 2020. Singaporean See Lee Wee, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal breach of trust with two counts of moneylaundering taken into consideration.
After Chai confirmed this, Edo approached See and said he needed cash urgently. He asked her to take a loan from Wirecard Asia, and to withdraw the cash and hand it to him as soon as possible. Chai arranged for S$47,000 to be transferred from Wirecard Asia's bank account to See's personal bank account.
Mr Kang said it was quite clear that See and other junior staff were manipulated by the main players in relation to the criminal conduct. The judge noted that the quantum of money taken was"not insignificant", but also acknowledged that See was merely the"arms and legs" of the scheme.
