MACC remands 2 lawyers over alleged RM8mil fraud
FMT reported today that SPRM, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has remanded two lawyers on suspicion of submitting documents with false details to facilitate the withdrawal of RM8 million in trustee funds for a property development project in the capital, allegedly for personal gain and investment.
Magistrate Puan Ezrene Zakariah issued a four-day remand order for both suspects until April 25, following an MACC application at the Putrajaya magistrates’ court this morning. A source said both men, in their 30s, were arrested at about 9.45pm yesterday when they arrived to give their statements at MACC’s Putrajaya headquarters.
"A preliminary investigation found that both men are suspected of conspiring to commit the offence from 2023 to 2025.
“The RM8 million, which was trustee funds that should have been used for the maintenance of a building, is believed not to have been handed over to the developer,” said the source.
MACC investigations division senior director Encik Hafaz Nazar confirmed the arrests, and said the case was being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009 for using documents with false details.
