Two company directors and a civil servant have been remanded for seven days for an investigation into a bribery case involving an RM9 million project to produce face masks.

Kuala Terengganu court assistant registrar Wan Azianti Abd Salleh issued the remand order today following an application by the MACC.

The company directors, aged 49 and 51, were arrested in Selangor while the 59-year-old civil servant was nabbed at his office here.

The arrests were made between 2pm and 4pm yesterday.

According to sources, the directors had allegedly given a bribe to the civil servant as a reward for proposing a joint venture with their company to produce face masks.
