PETALING JAYA: A company manager suspected of submitting documents containing false particulars to obtain tax reductions worth about RM200mil has had his remand extended by three days.
The extension, from Oct 4 to Oct 6, was granted by Magistrate Illya Syaheedah Mohd Razif in Putrajaya.
The suspect had previously been remanded from Thursday until yesterday following his arrest.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, when contacted, confirmed the extension and said the case was being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009.
The MACC has also conducted searches at 12 locations, including the suspect’s residences and office.
The suspect, in his 40s, was arrested on Wednesday after being called in to have his statement recorded at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
He allegedly committed the offence between 2018 and 2026.
It is learnt that the MACC had conducted searches at 12 locations, including the suspect’s residence and office.
A total of 25 luxury vehicles worth about RM25mil were seized, while four personal bank accounts and three company accounts containing some RM3mil were frozen.
The suspect was suspected of manipulating 480 company accounts using false documents to secure tax reductions and amass wealth from the activities.
He was also believed to have offered a bribe to an enforcement agency officer.
