Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48818, member: 636"] Anti-corruption officers grabbed a wealthy businessman yesterday for stealing millions of ringgit. The man holds the fancy title Datuk and runs his company from fancy offices. Cops think he washed dirty money through a fiber cable project that cost taxpayers plenty. The suspect faces four days locked up until Saturday for questioning. A judge approved keeping the crook behind bars at Putrajaya court. The scam happened back in 2012 when banks approved a huge loan worth 400 million ringgit. Investigators discovered that 75 million ringgit went straight into the businessman's company accounts. Officers caught him at anti-corruption headquarters during the afternoon arrest. The man appeared shocked when handcuffs clicked around his wrists. His expensive suit could not save him from facing serious criminal charges. Special operations teams raided four different places last Sunday during their big sweep. They hit his home and business offices across Selangor and Kuala Lumpur states. The raids turned up evidence of financial crimes spanning more than a decade. Officers seized documents and computer files during their searches. The team worked quickly to gather proof before lawyers could interfere. Authorities froze twelve bank accounts holding about 400,000 ringgit total. The frozen money came from both personal and business accounts under his control. Anti-money laundering laws give prosecutors powerful tools to chase financial criminals. The case moves forward under strict terrorism financing rules. More arrests could happen as the investigation continues. [/QUOTE]
