PUTRAJAYA, April 24 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested six individuals for allegedly submitting false claims totalling about RM15 million for the procurement of the C4i (Command, Control, Communication and Computer Integration) system maintenance contract.
A MACC source said the six, five men and a woman, aged 30 to in their 50s, including a company director, a chief financial officer, and two police personnel, were arrested at 8pm yesterday when they showed up to provide their statements at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
"Preliminary investigations found that the suspects were believed to have committed the act between 2022 and 2025 by conspiring to submit false claims worth about RM15 million, with a part of the component work at the support service not being implemented according to contract stipulations.
"The entire value of the C4i project is estimated to be about RM70 million, which was given to the Royal Malaysia Police and managed by the Home Ministry,” it said.
The source added that searches were also conducted at 15 locations, including the KDN and several companies in Johor, Selangor, Putrajaya, and Kuala Lumpur.
"The commission seized four luxury vehicles worth about RM1.3 million and froze 51 bank accounts - 30 personal accounts and 21 owned by 10 companies — for a total value of about RM3.5 million.
"Also seized were cash in various currencies, RM9,000, US$388, 2,340 Saudi riyals, 1,789 in Qatari riyals, 15,055 dirhams, and 21,219 Kazakhstani Tenge, with nine mobile phones,” it said, adding that the suspects have been remanded for seven days until Wednesday (April 30).
When contacted, MACC Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed the arrests.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009 and Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
