KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) confirmed on Tuesday (October 13) that a suspect from a money laundering syndicate linked to businesses owned by various celebrities in the country disappeared just as it was about to be re-detained by the police under the Prevention of Crime Act (POCA) of 1959.
A source said the suspect had just completed the bail process by MACC to be turned over to the guarantor, but then disappeared.
“The individual who is said to have fled after being detained by the MACC is not a ‘Datuk Seri’ and the MACC believes that the suspect will be arrested again very soon,” the source said.
On October 8, MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki said that MACC had detected hundreds of fictitious companies linked to the union to evade authorities.
MACC also seized 23 vehicles of various makes, including Ford Mustang, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, and Porsche, as well as several high-performance motorcycles owned by union members who are engaged in illegal activities.
MACC, prior to that, had also called in a couple of artists to give their statements to assist in the investigations into the money laundering case. – Bernama
