Code amendments put money mules in crosshairs


KUALA LUMPUR: Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code and Penal Code, which came into effect on Oct 30, will lead to a more focused prosecution of those involved in financial crime, especially money mules or mule account holders, says Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.

The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director said a more focused prosecution means authorities no longer have to rely on Section 29(1) of the Minor Offences Act.
