Lelaki berusia 60an itu ditahan untuk bantu siasatan rasuah berhubung pajakan sebuah hotel berkaitan TH di Arab Saudi.
PUTRAJAYA: A former minister has been released on bail by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Bureau (SPRM) after cooperating in the investigation of the Royal Charities Institution (TH) budget, according to SPRM Deputy Commissioner Abd Halim Aman. The 60-year-old man was detained on September 2 after appearing at the SPRM headquarters in Putrajaya for questioning.
Initially, the detention order was set for five days but was extended by two days to September 6. The former minister is believed to have been held to assist the investigation into a hotel budgeting issue related to TH in Saudi Arabia. The case falls under Section 16(a)(A) of the SPRM Act 2009, which criminalizes soliciting, receiving, or agreeing to receive a benefit from any person, either for oneself or another, as an inducement or payment.
If found guilty, the penalty under this section can be imprisonment for up to 20 years and a fine of up to five times the amount of the benefit received, or a minimum of RM10,000.
