LABUAN - The Bukit Aman Cyber and Multimedia Crime Division has set up a special task force to probe a report lodged by an offshore bank here on an alleged transfer of RM30.5 million to accounts in Hong Kong and Cambodia.
The investigation is being conducted under the Anti-Money Laundering Act and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act.
“The mastermind successfully siphoned US$9.42 million (RM30.5 million) into accounts in Hong Kong and Cambodia,” said Labuan Police Chief Supt. Adzhar Othman Adzhar in confirming on Thursday that a report had been lodged on Sept 18 by the bank concerned.
“After the transactions were completed, the accounts were closed.”
The bank reportedly alleged in a police report that one of its clients had been tricked into revealing details and information regarding his account.
The case was initially investigated by the Labuan Commercial Crime Investigation Division (CCID) headed by DSP Mohd Sabri Hahazin, according to Adzhar.
