Ex-PM aide held in MACC probe, money trail heats up

Malaysia's anti-corruption squad grabbed Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin and businessman Albert Tei, and both got hit with six-day detention orders from a Putrajaya court. The case centers on alleged bribes worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit that Tei supposedly handed over to Shamsul so he could help get back money that went to Sabah politicians earlier.

Authorities also picked up Sofia Rini Buyong during the sweep, and she caught a four-day remand that started earlier. Shamsul already quit his job as the prime minister's senior political secretary before the arrests went down.
