Victims lose RM8.4m in bogus gold investment, police say ‘Datuk Seri' behind scam
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — Police have recorded 40 statements, involving 37 victims and three witnesses, in connection with an investment fraud scheme that caused total losses of over RM8.4 million. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (JSJK) director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the case was first exposed by Malaysian International Humanitarian Organisation (MHO) secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim, through 43 police reports filed since 2023. He said the fraudulent investment scheme was allegedly operated by a company claiming to have access to billions of ringgit worth of gold and cash funds overseas. However, investigations revealed that the company was not registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). 'The investors were promised high returns once the funds (gold) were successfully liquidated after sufficient capital was gathered to cover management and activation costs,' he told a press conference at Menara KPJ here today. Rusdi added that the victims were also misled by an individual, with a 'Datuk Seri' title, who was the main mastermind behind the scheme. This individual claimed to be managing the inheritance of assets belonging to a foreign national. He further added that the victims were influenced by forged documents, complete with fake logos, stamps, and signatures, allegedly issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). 'To date, no investors have received any funds or returns as promised. Instead, they were given various excuses, including technical problems overseas and expired documents,' he said. Rusdi confirmed that 15 investigation papers have been opened under Section 420 of the Penal Code, although no arrests have been made thus far. — Bernama

Judge Rosli Ahmad confirmed the trial dates from August 25 to 28 and instructed the defence to submit their statement of defence to the prosecution by Auguste 22. During today's proceedings, deputy public prosecutor Hazel Tan Jia Qi informed the court that the prosecution had submitted the witness statements on July 31. Counsel Md Yunos Shariff, representing Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, said the defence would submit its statement under Section 62 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 before the trial begins. The prosecution is expected to call 20 witnesses. On May 23, Sayed Amir Muzzakkir, 43, was charged with accepting a bribe of RM350,000 from Nexuscorp Group managing director Wan Azhar Mohamed Yusof, in exchange for assisting the company in securing a maintenance and supply tender for infrastructure equipment, servers, software, and user radios for the Royal Malaysian Police (RMPNet) system worth RM381.1 million. The offence was allegedly committed at Solaris Dutamas on December 4 and 16, 2020. The following day, he was also charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court with another count of soliciting a bribe of RM350,000 from the same individual for the same purpose at the Nexuscorp office in Section 7, Shah Alam, in early December 2020. All charges are framed under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009, punishable under Section 24(1) of the same Act, which provides for a maximum imprisonment of 20 years and a fine of not less than five times the value of the bribe or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction. The Shah Alam case has been transferred to the Sessions Court here to be heard together. — Bernama
