Kuala Lumpur: Police have recorded the statements of 12 individuals to assist in investigations into a fraud case amounting to RM95,180 involving the wife of an actor and comedian. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf stated that the department is in the process of completing the investigation paper on the case, which will soon be referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the investigation is currently focused on several accounts linked to the scam. However, no action has been taken yet to freeze these accounts under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001. Ramli mentioned that a woman in her 20s, who was previously arrested, has been handed over to the Sabah Commercial Crime Investigation Department to aid in the investigation of a non-existent business investment fraud case in the state.

Further investigations revealed that the suspect is linked to seven fraud cases across five states, resulting in losses amounting to RM161,355. Earlier media reports indicated that police received a complaint from a 33-year-old woman regarding the alleged fraud case. The case involves providing assistance in altering a court sentence concerning her husband.

The victim reportedly met with a 28-year-old woman in December last year to discuss her husband’s legal issues and was offered help to reduce the severity of the court’s verdict.
