PETALING JAYA: Police have crippled a syndicate operating in Kuala Lumpur that allegedly scammed Taiwanese.
Bukit Aman police secretary Noorsiah Saaduddin said 15 people – 12 Taiwanese and three Chinese – were picked up during a raid in the capital on April 12. They were aged between 22 and 43.
All of them were later charged in the Kuala Lumpur magistrates’ court under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, and Section 511 of the Penal Code for committing offences punishable with imprisonment.
According to Noorsiah, the syndicate purchased digital currency in dollars using the money it collected from victims. This digital currency was then transferred to an e-wallet account.
Apart from RM2,745 and US$200 in cash, police also seized several laptops, phones and modems believed to have been used in the syndicate’s activities. -FMT
