KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission arrested the former chief financial officer and former chief operating officer of a real estate company on suspicion of submitting false payment claim documents for about RM100,000.
An MACC source said the duo, a woman and a man in their 30s, were arrested at 2pm yesterday when they gave their statements at the Selangor MACC office.
“A preliminary investigation found that they were suspected of submitting 42 false claim documents that caused losses to the company when no goods had been supplied and no work was carried out.
“Both suspects are believed to have committed the acts from January 2021 to April 2022. They received all the payments by transferring the money to their own bank accounts,” the source said.
Another source said the duo have been remanded for three days until June 29.
Selangor MACC director Alias Salim confirmed the arrests and said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.
