Vancouver man found dead in Colombia linked to B.C. money laundering

The body of Richard Yen Fat Chiu, 47, was discovered burned in a village outside Cucuta, on the Venezuelan border on June 20. He had arrived in the country the day prior, identifying himself as a fruit importer. Cops in B.C. have linked him to Silver International, an underground bank accused of laundering of hundreds of millions through B.C. casinos.

During a search of a business associated with Silver International, a courier label for a money counter originally delivered to Chiu was found.
