Bukit Aman Commercial CID director Ramli Yoosuf said the two suspects were a 58-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman.

Bernama quoted Ramli as saying the man was arrested at the immigration department office at KLIA Terminal 2 at about 3am today, and the woman was arrested at a condominium in Sentul at 4.15am.

“Preliminary investigation found that the first suspect had met and befriended a man with the title of Datuk more than 25 years ago, and admitted that he and the Datuk established the company I-Serve Payment Gateway Sdn Bhd in 2019,” Ramli said in a statement.

“The suspect also admitted to acting as a director in three companies, namely Beauty Treasure Sdn Bhd, I-Serve Technology and Vacations Sdn Bhd, and I-Serve Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd.”

Following that, police raided a condominium in Sentul and arrested the woman.

“Preliminary investigation found that the woman was a private sector employee at an insurance company and did not admit to any involvement in the case being investigated,” he said.

Ramli also said police confiscated a car, two mobile phones and two passports.

He said the suspects will be brought to the Jalan Duta magistrates’ court today for a remand order to be taken against them.

The police investigation is being carried out under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

Several businessmen and individuals had been arrested earlier to assist in the investigation.
