PUTRAJAYA: Rural and Regional Development Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohd Arif Ab Rahman and one of his sons were released today after their 11-day remand period expired. They had both been arrested for corruption.

Mohd Arif, 59, and his 34-year-old son were released by the magistrate’s court here on Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission bail of RM200,000 and RM25,000.

They were initially held for seven days from Jan 4 and for another four days when the remand order was extended.

On Wednesday, the court released the Mohd Arif’s other son, aged 29, on RM10,000 bail.

The three were held for investigations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

The secretary-general was arrested at his home in USJ, Subang, on Jan 4 while his two sons who are managing directors of two separate companies were arrested when they went to MACC headquarters to give their statements the same day.
