A 28-year-old owner of a trading company was the latest to be detained over investigations into debt-ridden state fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
Ariffin Ismail Shahul Hameed was remanded today for four days, until July 27.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairy had requested for a seven-day remand order but Magistrate Nik Isfahanie Tasnim Wan Ab Rahman only allowed four days.
The man was detained at 10.45pm last night under Section 16 (a) of the MACC Act to assist in investigations, an agency spokesman said.
The man is believed to be the sole owner of a trading company based in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.
The suspect is the third to be arrested in relation to ongoing investigations by a task force investigating 1MDB as well as a trail of money leading to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
