Johor exco member Abd Latiff Bandi has been remanded for seven days to facilitate investigations into a graft case involving the conversion of bumiputera property titles.

Abd Latiff was brought before magistrate Nor Sulehan Abdul Rahman at the Johor Baru Magistrate's Court this morning.

Yesterday, Abd Latiff was questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and subsequently arrested at the commision's office in Johor Baru.

The MACC also raided his home, confiscating RM42,000 in cash, a Toyota Vellfire and 150 handbags.

The Endau state assemblyperson, clad in orange-coloured lock-up outfit, was escorted by eight officers into the courtroom at around 10.30am. He was not handcuffed.

A group of supporters accompanied Abd Latif, 51, as he made his way into the magistrate's court.

One supporter hugged him and the two kissed each other's cheeks. Some of the supporters were also tearing.

After Abd Latiff entered the courtroom, his supporters started to recite prayers.

The case is investigated under Section 17 of the MACC Act and Section 4 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

Previously, MACC arrested six individuals over the alleged conversion of bumiputera land titles in exchange for kickbacks.

Among others, MACC arrested Abd Latif's son and the exco member's special officer.

MACC also seized 26 luxury vehicles and froze 45 bank accounts in connection with the case.

Abdul Latif went on indefinite leave last Wednesday.
