2 lagi direman berkait sindiket palsu dokumen hak milik kenderaan

Two suspects were brought before the Ipoh High Court on Friday to obtain an arrest warrant to assist SPRM's investigation. PETALING JAYA: The Perak Anti-Corruption Agency detained two individuals, comprising a businessman and a car broker allegedly linked to a syndicate of falsifying vehicle ownership documents. All suspects were also questioned about assisting officials from a regulatory agency in Perak to alter vehicle ownership status.

A seven-day remand order for both suspects, expiring on September 21, was issued by the High Court judge Evangelina following a request from SPRM at the Ipoh High Court in the morning. All the male suspects, aged between 30 and 40, were detained around 4pm and 9pm the previous night when they appeared to give statements at the Perak SPRM office.

This remand action follows SPRM's investigation in collaboration with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) into a syndicate of falsifying vehicle ownership documents to alter ownership status. The SPRM Perak Director, Azizul Ahmad Sarkawi, confirmed the arrest when contacted, stating that the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the SPRM Act 2009.

Last week, SPRM revealed a car ownership document falsification syndicate in Perak when it arrested six civil servants and five informants to assist the investigation. According to sources, initial findings suggest the criminal activity was suspected to have occurred around 2025. The informants were suspected to collude with civil servants to submit false documents enabling the non-legitimate exchange of vehicle ownership status.
