Abstract

The article focuses on the seizure of over £12 million ($15.6 million) worth of dinosaur skeletons by British police from a Chinese national, Su Binghai, who is linked to a significant money laundering scandal. Su agreed to forfeit three complete fossilized skeletons, including a mother and baby Allosaurus and a Stegosaurus, along with nine London apartments, while retaining 25% of the sale proceeds. This case is part of a broader investigation into money laundering in Singapore, where authorities have seized assets totaling approximately 3 billion Singaporean dollars ($2.3 billion) and jailed multiple individuals involved in illicit activities. The dinosaur remains are currently stored in a London facility. [Extracted from the article]
