PETALING JAYA: An insurance agent has been remanded until Sunday on suspicion of being an accomplice in a false investment scheme involving RM21 million in funds.
A source with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said the suspect in her 40s was arrested at 9pm yesterday after giving her statement at the agency’s headquarters in Putrajaya.
The source said 22 people had been tricked into investing their money in a corporation in the Klang Valley. However, the corporation did not receive the funds while the “investors” were given false investment certificates.
The woman was allegedly involved in the fake investment scheme from 2023.
MACC investigation division senior director Zainul Darus confirmed the arrest.
