The anti-corruption agency, which reports directly to Lee, said earlier in January that it completed months of investigations into the case, but didn’t specify what wrongdoing was involved.
Singapore Transport Minister S. Iswaran appeared in court after a graft probe, the latest development in the biggest political scandal to hit the city state in close to four decades.
Iswaran, 61, arrived at the Singapore State Courts with a legal team on Thursday.
He is the first key minister to get embroiled in a graft probe since 1986. He and property tycoon Ong Beng Seng were arrested and released on bail in July in a case that’s challenged Singapore’s reputation for clean governance at a time when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is seeking to step aside after almost two decades of leading the country.
