Stiffer penalties for mule account holders in the pipeline, says Bukit Aman

KUALA LUMPUR: Mule account holders could face stricter action under proposed changes to the Penal Code, says Bukit Aman.

"The law now might not be (sufficiently harsh) and we have to charge most (mule account holders) under the Minor Offences Act 1955 and this has many interpretations," Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf told a press conference here on Friday (June 21).
