Kidnap ‘victim’ rescued in July linked to slain drug syndicate boss, say cops
Police say the investigation into the man’s involvement in the syndicate is ongoing.
In July, police rescued a man who had been kidnapped in i-City, Shah Alam, and have now linked him to the head of a drug processing syndicate who was killed in Seremban the following Sunday, according to police officials. Bukit Aman NCID director Hussein Omar Khan disclosed that the kidnapping victim is being held for 60 days under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985.
The connection between the deceased syndicate leader and the kidnapped individual, currently detained, is still under investigation, according to Khan. In July, six suspects were arrested after the police rescued the 46-year-old victim, who had been demanded a RM7 million ransom. Later, it was revealed that the victim was detained upon discovering potential links to a drug trafficking syndicate.
On Monday, Hussein informed that the slain individual in Seremban was the head of a drug syndicate, involved in drug processing since the 1990s, with a long criminal record including kidnapping.
