PUTRAJAYA: Two men, including a senior official of a statutory body, have been remanded five days from today to assist in a probe into a scandal involving a RM30 million project of the entity.
The remand orders against the suspects, aged 48 and 52, were issued by Magistrate Saifullah Qamar Qamar Siddique Bhatti after allowing an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The orders are effective until March 26.
A source from MACC said the two men, including a director of a consultant company, were detained at the MACC headquarters separately at about 12.30pm and 11pm today after they presented themselves there to have their statements recorded.
According to the source, initial investigations revealed that the senior officer and the director allegedly abetted three other suspects who were remanded on Tuesday to obtain approval to offer legally-certified certificate software services without adhering to regulations of the proper authorities. – Bernama
