IPOH: A company owner and a car broker have been remanded for seven days over an investigation into vehicle ownership document forgery and bribery of enforcement agency officers in Perak.
The remand order until Sept 21 was granted by the Magistrate's Court following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) here on Tuesday (Sept 15).
The two male suspects, in their 30s and 40s, were detained at the Perak MACC headquarters on Monday (Sept 14) following an operation by the MACC and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to uncover a syndicate falsifying vehicle ownership documents.
Perak MACC director Azizul Ahmad Sarkawi confirmed the matter and that the case would be investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act.
On Monday, five individuals who acted as middlemen for the syndicate had their remand extended until Sept 18.
On Sept 8, six JPJ personnel and five agents were also remanded over the probe.
