Wu Yidian Eden, a naturalized Singapore citizen, was detained last week following rounds of police questioning, the newspaper reported, citing a notice issued by the authorities. Wu has not been charged with any crime, the newspaper said.

Wu, 31, was questioned after one of her clients, a banker at Agricultural Bank of China (1288.HK)(601288.SS), fled with millions of dollars, according to the report.

A Standard Chartered spokeswoman in Hong Kong said the bank was unable to comment on Wu's detention because of the ongoing police investigation, but added that the bank was not being investigated.
