He said a police report dated Aug 7, 2009, stated that a female complainant, in her 40s, claimed that she had met the suspect over a petrol station project.

"Based on the report, we arrested the suspect today after he was released by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission)," he explained.
Syed Ismail declined to comment further on the remand period, but said the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
Last Friday, it was confirmed that the police handed the suspect over to the MACC for questioning.
The authorities have been tight lipped on their investigations into the NFC scandal, but Syed Ismail did reveal that the suspect was nabbed after trying to bribe several senior police officers.

Suspect wanted for other cases
The suspect is believed to own a foreign workers agency and a taxi company.
He is also believed to have been picked up by the police three weeks ago in connection with a cheating case in Cheras and was wanted for another cheating case in Bercham, Ipoh, as well.
The NFC controversy revolves around the award of a government contract to the cattle-breeding company, which is run by the husband of cabinet minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
PKR claims that the government's RM250 million softloan for the project had been abused for numerous questionable purchases which includes luxury condominiums, prime land in Putrajaya and a luxury car, among others.
The Auditor-General’s Report 2010 had also criticised the management of the NFC, claiming that it was in a “mess”.
