PETALING JAYA: The remand for a company manager suspected of submitting documents to obtain tax reductions of around RM200mil has been extended by three days.
The extension from Oct 4 to 6 was issued on Saturday (Oct 3) at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court by Magistrate Illya Syaheedah Mohd Razif.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had conducted searches at 12 locations, including the suspect's residence and office.
A total of 25 luxury vehicles worth RM25mil were seized. The MACC has also frozen four personal and three company bank accounts, with combined balances of around RM3mil.
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman confirmed the remand extension.
He added that the case was being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009.
A suspect in his 40s was arrested on Wednesday after being called to give his statement to the MACC in Putrajaya.
Preliminary investigations showed that the suspect allegedly committed the offence between 2018 and 2026 and is also suspected of offering a bribe to an enforcement officer.
He was also believed to have manipulated 480 company accounts using false documents to secure tax reductions.
