According to a source, the male suspect, in his 50s, was detained at around 1pm on Monday (June 16) when he appeared to provide a statement at the MACC Melaka office. 'The suspect is believed to have committed the act between 2020 and 2023 by appointing his wife—who works at a bank—as the investment agent for share investments amounting to approximately RM50 million. 'Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect may have used public and trust funds without the approval of the financial controlling officer,' the source said.
