A financial manager and head of the marketing department of a company were remanded for three days starting today to assist the MACC in an investigation into a case of bribery amounting to more than RM10 million to facilitate the takeover of a construction work project for a public transport system.
Magistrate Izra Zulaikha Rohanuddin issued the order after granting MACC's application to remand the woman and man, both in their early 40s, at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court today.
According to an MACC source, the duo were arrested at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya at about 9.30pm yesterday when they came to give their statements.
The source said the female suspect, who is the financial manager, is believed to have paid bribes to facilitate the acquisition of work involving the project from another company to the company she works for.
The woman involved who was responsible for paying the money is believed to have done so without complying with the company's financial and procurement procedures.
The source added that the male suspect is suspected of making payments to six individuals and entities suspected of being fake.
MACC Investigations Division senior director Hishamuddin Hashim when contacted confirmed the arrest of the two individuals to assist the investigation under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009 (Act 694).
The section deals with offences and penalties for soliciting, accepting or offering bribes for the benefit of oneself or others.
