The remand for two individuals, including a businessman with the title ‘Datuk Seri’, has been extended for four days from today to assist investigations into the two receiving RM300,000 in bribes from one individual to release 22 Chinese nationals detained at the Immigration depot.
The remand order for up to Thursday was issued by Magistrate Sabreena Bakar @Bahari at the Magistrate’s Court in Shah Alam upon receiving an application from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today.
Last Wednesday, a 44-year-old Datuk Seri and a woman, 41, who is believed to be a foreign worker agent, were remanded for six days to assist the investigation in the case.
An MACC source said the male suspect allegedly claimed he could settle the detention of 22 Chinese nationals suspected to be involved in online gambling and Macau scam while the woman was acting as a middleman.
The case is being investigated under Section 16 (a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
