The remand order until June 21 was issued by magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim at the magistrates’ court here after hearing the application made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

According to a source, all four men, aged 32 to 61, were detained at the MACC headquarters here at about 10pm yesterday.

“They are believed to have solicited payment of 5% of the project’s worth based on the progress claims for procuring the service tender of supplying, processing, printing and posting the summons of an enforcement agency,” the source said.

The case was investigated under Section 16 (a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.

In a separate case in the same court, a businessman was ordered to be remanded for five days from today for alleged involvement in money laundering.

The man is believed to have obtained almost RM1 million from the sale of a Ferrari that did not belong to him, in order to purchase a Lamborghini priced at RM1.8 million for himself.

The 43-year-old was arrested at 5.20pm yesterday at the MACC headquarters. The case is being investigated under Section 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
