PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested two more people suspected of bribery and submitting RM2.6mil in false claims.
Magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin issued a four-day remand order against the suspects until Monday after an application was made by MACC at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
According to sources, the female suspect, in her 40s and the male suspect, in his 60s, were detained between 7pm and 11pm on Thursday while giving their statements at the MACC headquarters.
“Initial investigations found that the two suspects, who are the chief executive officer of a public listed company and a company director, were suspected of colluding to submit documents containing false details to withdraw company funds amounting to about RM2.6mil, which was then transferred to the company account where the female suspect worked,” said the source.
