Company owner, car broker on remand for probe into falsification of vehicle ownership documents
IPOH: A company owner and a car broker are on remand for seven days until Sept 21 to assist in an investigation into a syndicate allegedly falsifying vehicle ownership documents at a local enforcement agency.
Two men in their 30s and 40s, a company owner and a car broker, have been placed on remand for seven days starting from September 21 to aid an investigation into a syndicate accused of falsifying vehicle ownership documents. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) reported that the suspects allegedly bribed officials at a local enforcement agency to manipulate vehicle ownership records.
The MACC discovered the syndicate's activities in conjunction with the Road Transport Department (RTD), which allegedly involved altering vehicle ownership documents to change ownership status. According to a MACC source, the magistrate S. S. Evangelin granted the remand order after the MACC applied at the Magistrate's Court. The two suspects were apprehended on the previous day while at the Perak MACC office to have their statements recorded.
Perak MACC director Azizul Ahmad Sarkawi confirmed the remand, stating that the case is being examined under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
