PETALING JAYA – Police are identifying assets belonging to the co-founder and two family members of MYAirline Sdn Bhd.

Bukit Aman commercial crime investigation department director Datuk Ramli Yoosuf said they were suspected of acquiring the assets through proceeds from money laundering activities.

According to reports in Utusan Malaysia, investigations are underway to trace assets, bank accounts or property acquired through these activities.

“We are also looking into the modus operandi used by the suspects to collect illegal deposits.

“Investigations will also involve identifying the type of crime involved, including how they procured the deposits,” he said.

The remand for the three suspects ends today.

“However, it cannot be confirmed whether the three suspects will be further remanded or released on bail,” said Ramli.

Goh, 57; Neow Ean Lee, 55; and Goh Tze Han, 26, were arrested at their residence in Shah Alam on October 18 to assist in an investigation under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. – The Vibes, October 21, 2023
