MACC nabs 3 more in Tabung Haji RCI probe

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has apprehended three additional individuals in connection with the investigation into the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji (TH). The three men, all in their 50s, were detained on suspicion of abetting the misappropriation of penalty notice charges totaling approximately RM450,000.

They are alleged to have colluded in the offence between 2017 and 2019. The suspects, who hold positions within a property company that is a TH subsidiary, were apprehended at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday afternoon. The MACC chief commissioner, Abd Halim Aman, confirmed the arrests and stated that the case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the MACC Act 2009.

The three suspects have been remanded for five days, with the remand order issued by magistrate Ezrene Zakariah. This brings the total number of individuals detained by the MACC in relation to the RCI report to five.
