RM200 Million False Particulars Case: Company Manager’s Remand Extended

PUTRAJAYA: The remand of a company manager previously detained has been extended for another three days to assist investigations into allegations of submitting documents containing false particulars to obtain tax reductions worth about RM200 million.

The remand order against the man, who is in his 40s, was issued by Magistrate Illya Syaheedah Mohd Razif at the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court on Saturday following an application by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The suspect will be remanded from Oct 4 to 6 after his initial three-day remand, which began last Thursday, expired today.

The media previously reported that the MACC investigation into the company manager of an agency providing financial and corporate services also led to searches at 12 locations involving office premises and the suspect’s residence.

During the operation, the MACC seized 25 luxury vehicles with a combined estimated value of about RM25 million.

Four personal accounts and three company accounts, involving approximately RM3 million, were also frozen.

Meanwhile, MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman, when contacted, confirmed that the case is being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009.

The suspect’s remand has been extended to assist investigations into the case.
