It is learnt that the man was picked up on suspicion of receiving a bribe, believed to amount to RM200,000, from several contractors as an inducement to approve a project involving DBKL.
MACC deputy chief commissioner (operation) Azam Baki said MACC, during its raid, also found cash amounting to RM1 million at the man’s house, with further investigations underway.
“Also arrested were five individuals suspected to be involved in bribery involving the same agency,” he told Bernama when contacted.
In Putrajaya, magistrate Shah Wira Abdul Halim allowed a five-day remand application on the individuals, aged between 41 and 57, upon the application from MACC to facilitate investigations under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act 2009.
