PUTRAJAYA: Four people, believed to have been working hand and glove in making false claims for a development project in the east coast worth more than RM300mil, have been arrested.
One of them is a manager with a government-linked property company. The others are a managing director, a project manager and an architect of a contracting and architect firm.
It is learnt that three of the suspects were arrested at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office in Terengganu.
The fourth suspect was arrested at his home in Kuala Lumpur.
The suspects, aged between 28 and 48, were arrested yesterday.
They are now under a six-day remand order after magistrate Noor Mazrinie Mahmood allowed the MACC’s application, which was submitted yesterday.
MACC senior director of investigations Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hashim confirmed the arrests.
