KUALA LUMPUR: The probe on controversial Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB) has widened further, with Bukit Aman zooming in on the company’s top guns.

Nineteen of its leaders, including the chief executive officer (CEO), have been arrested and remanded to help in investigations.Since the raids on 20 care homes – 18 in Selangor and two in Negri Sembilan – believed to be linked to the company, police have stepped up their investigations, codenamed Op Global, into the group’s dealings and facilities.
