KUALA LUMPUR: The latest suspect arrested in the MYAirline case has been remanded for five days until Friday (Oct 27).
“The suspect was arrested at his home in Bangsar early Monday (Oct 23),” said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
He said the man, in his 40s, was taken to the Jinjang central lockup for the remand application.
He also said MYAirline co-founder Datuk Allan Goh would be released on police bail after his remand ends on Oct 23.
“Our focus now is to scrutinise important documents pertaining to i-Serve business transactions,” he said.
Goh, 57, as well as his 55-year-old wife and 26-year-old son, were detained by CCID at about 5.30pm on Oct 17 at their residence in Shah Alam.
All three were remanded until Saturday (Oct 21) when Goh’s wife and son were released while Goh’s remand was extended.
On Oct 12, MYAirline abruptly suspended operations citing financial issues pending shareholder restructuring and recapitalisation.
About 125,000 passengers with tickets worth RM20mil, were affected.
Following the announcement on Oct 16, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the license of low-cost carrier MYAirline Sdn Bhd will be suspended temporarily.
