MACC nabs duo for using fake documents to claim RM180,000 dividends
SEREMBAN: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested and obtained four-day remand orders for two former statutory body officers for allegedly using fake documents to claim dividends of RM180,000.
The remand order for the suspects, a man and a woman in their 30s and 40s, is for four days until May 25.
A source said one suspect was detained in Perak and the other in Terengganu.
"They are believed to have committed the offence between 2021 and 2023, involving claims of about RM180,000.
"The cash was banked into accounts of their spouses, who were not eligible to receive the dividends," he said.
Negri Sembilan MACC chief Awgkok Ahmad Taufik Putra Awg Ismail confirmed the case and said it is being probed under Section 18 of the MACC Act.
