2 more remanded over Perak vehicle transfer syndicate
They are suspected of bribing enforcement officers to facilitate vehicle ownership transfers.
Perak authorities have remanded two additional suspects linked to a syndicate that falsified documents for vehicle ownership transfers involving 16 classic number plates. A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source revealed that the individuals – a company owner and a car broker – are suspected of bribing state enforcement agency officers to facilitate the vehicle ownership transfers.
Both suspects, aged in their 30s and 40s, were arrested at the Perak MACC office on September 19, providing statements to authorities.
Magistrate SS Evangelin granted a seven-day remand order for the suspects, with the next court appearance set for September 21. Perak MACC director Azizul Ahmad Sarkawi confirmed the arrests of the two additional suspects. Earlier this week, authorities arrested 11 people, including six civil servants, dismantling the syndicate. The six civil servants are alleged to have conspired with five members of the public acting as middlemen in the offenses dating back to 2025.
