5 lagi pegawai imigresen disyaki subahat godam MyIMMs diberkas

On Wednesday, Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Agency, SPRM, detained five more Immigration Department staff members as part of an investigation into the "Crack" operation. The suspects, aged between 30 and 40, were apprehended after appearing at SPRM headquarters earlier. This brings the total number of individuals detained so far to 11, following the arrest of six individuals last week.

SPRM Deputy Chief Abd Halim Aman confirmed the detentions, revealing that all suspects would be interrogated under Section 17(a) and 16(a) of the SPRM Act 2009. "They are being questioned in connection with the alleged collusion to violate the MyIMMs system," he said, according to Bernama. Earlier, Bernama cited a source claiming that SPRM has already interviewed 17 individuals to assist the investigation.

SPRM has also frozen nine bank accounts, four individual and two corporate accounts, valued at approximately RM300,000. Previously, the media reported that six immigration officers and one police officer among 12 individuals were detained for suspected involvement in a syndicate violating the MyIMMs system while processing work permit applications.
