Three individuals have been detained on suspicion of giving and accepting bribes amounting to RM3 million in relation to a logging project worth more than RM27 million in Pahang five years ago.
The suspects, aged between 39 and 73, were arrested after they were called to give their statements at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday.
According to a source, one of the suspects is a former board member while the other are two former company directors.
“The case is related to a logging project take-over in one of the districts in Pahang, involving an area of 6,591.67 acres, in 2015.
“The case is being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009,” the source told Bernama today.
MACC deputy chief commissioner (Operations) Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya, when contacted, confirmed the arrests.
