KUALA LUMPUR: A former telecommunications company director has been detained for allegedly submitting documents with false information to a development financial institution to secure approval for a loan of about RM200mil.
According to a source, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) detained the male suspect, in his 70s, at 10.35am on Friday (April 24) when he turned up to give a statement at the commission’s headquarters in Putrajaya.
"Preliminary investigations found that the suspect is believed to have acted in collusion with several individuals who were charged earlier and committed the offence in 2012," the source said.
Meanwhile, MACC senior director (special operations) Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin, when contacted, confirmed the arrest and said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
He said the suspect will be charged next Monday. - Bernama
