Singapore investigating local companies for luxury goods trade with North Korea

Despite the company's denials, the trade seemed to continue in 2017

Singaporean authorities on Wednesday said they are investigating two local companies for sending luxury goods to North Korea in breach of UN sanctions.

The case is also mentioned in a yet to be released report from the UN Panel of Experts (PoE) tasked with monitoring North Korean sanctions evasion, but was first the subject of a long-running NK Pro investigation published in July last year.
