In a statement, Razarudin said a joint investigation with LHDN found that the firm never paid the relevant taxes to the board.

This is consistent with the investigation conducted by the police pursuant to the Income Tax Act 1967, he said.

He also said that up to 34 individuals linked to the firm who had concluded their remand period would be rearrested under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

“Meanwhile, 127 who were previously arrested will be released on (police) bail once their remand order expires,” he added.

On Monday, Razarudin said police might consider using Sosma in their investigation into the company.

GISBH and its activities have come under scrutiny after police rescued 402 children from 20 welfare homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan which the authorities had linked to the firm. Police had also arrested 171 people, including an ustaz and a hostel warden in the raids.

GISBH has denied the allegations and any links to the case.

Investigations showed that at least 13 of the children were allegedly sodomised or taught to sexually assault others. Four people linked to the company have since been charged with numerous offences, including sexual assault.

Earlier, it was reported that the remand order against the company’s CEO, Nasiruddin Ali, and 18 other members of its top management had been extended until Saturday.

The remand order against five men who were nabbed while attempting to leave the country through Bukit Kayu Hitam had also been extended until Saturday.

Razarudin also cautioned the public not to be deceived by a post from account holder Dzulkifli Salleh, posted on the Facebook page “Meru & Bukit Kapar Komuniti”, which seeks to raise funds to assist children affected by the ongoing probe into the firm.
