The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has nabbed three company directors in its probe into an RM90 mil bribery case involving Tourism Malaysia, sources told FocusM.
The trio, aged between 31 and 48, were detained at the MACC headquarters yesterday, and are remanded for four days.
Bribes were paid by the three directors to secure an RM90 mil promotional contract for the government agency by way of presenting false documents and information on its tender.
Despite not fulfilling the necessary conditions to qualify for the contract, including failing to meet technical and financial requirements, the contract was still awarded after certain officials were given “bribes”, said sources.
It is understood that MACC has identified officials in the agency who collaborated with the trio and will make more arrests soon.
The case is being investigated under Section 17(a) and Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009. – June 11, 2020
