  "account": "Authorities have detained five individuals in connection with the investigation into Tabung Haji, including the former chairman, former CEO, and former CFO of the institution. Rusdi Isa, Head of Commercial Crime Investigation Department Bukit Aman, revealed that three former employees were held in relation to the distribution of annual profits or Tabung Haji bursaries for 2017, while the remaining two were detained as part of an investigation into embezzlement of illicit funds. The suspects are five men and two women aged between 48 and 70 years. Three of them were remanded until tomorrow, while the others are being interrogated under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and will be remanded until September 11. Earlier, lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad confirmed that former Tabung Haji chairman Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim and two other senior officials had been detained by the police to assist with the investigation. Azeez, a former Baling MP from Umno, denies any wrongdoing in relation to the charges of abusing his position to gain benefits in the form of a chairmanship and perks at another company.",
