"In relation to this, members of the public who recognise or have information about the three individuals are asked to contact the investigations officer, enforcement assistant Amirul Ikhwan Selamat at 016-509 8947," the MACC said.
The anti-graft agency arrested at least 53 people, including 33 Immigration officers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Klia2 and Bangunan Sultan Ismail in Johor Baru, after mounting Op Selat last Tuesday.
Those arrested on suspicion of involvement with the syndicate suspected of falsifying travel document border stamps included a deputy director at KLIA.
About RM800,000, 26 luxury vehicles and four high-powered motorcycles have been seized since the launch of Op Selat.
Also confiscated were properties and jewellery.
The syndicate is believed to be involved in a transnational network of people-smuggling and other criminal activities across China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Bangladesh.
During one of the raids, MACC enforcers were shocked to find luxury vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ford Mustang, Range Rover and Audi, purportedly owned by a grade KP19 Immigration officer.
A new Rolls-Royce is priced at about RM2.2 million before tax, while the low-ranking officer's maximum salary for his rank is RM4,052 a month. – The Vibes, November 23, 2020
