Fake Currency, Crime Items Worth Over RM700,000 Disposed Of
KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Brickfields police have disposed of case items worth RM721,239, including counterfeit US dollars linked to a foreign exchange fraud syndicate, with items dating back as far as 2017. Brickfields District Police Chief ACP Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the disposal involved 124 completed criminal and commercial crime investigation papers. 'A total of 47,906 criminal case items with an estimated value of RM630,565 were disposed of, while commercial crime cases accounted for 1,325 items valued at RM90,674,' he told a press conference at the Brickfields District Police Headquarters here today. Among the items disposed of were RM9,833 in cash and large quantities of seized goods, including those linked to gambling, unlicensed entertainment outlets, prostitution and illicit massage centres. Ku Mashariman berkata antara kes itu melibatkan seorang warga asing yang terlibat dalam penipuan pertukaran wang pada tahun lepas dan suspek menggunakan USD400,000 wang palsu untuk memperdaya mangsa yang mahu menukar mata wang. Ku Mashariman said one of the more notable cases involved a foreign national who carried out a currency exchange scam last year. The suspect had attempted to deceive a victim by using USD400,000 in counterfeit currency. 'We arrested the suspect and seized USD400,000 in fake banknotes. He was charged in court, sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment, and will be deported to his home country,' he said. He added that the main purpose of the disposal exercise was to ensure that all case items are lawfully destroyed in accordance with legal provisions, to reduce storage burden and to minimise the risk of theft from long-term storage.
