10 to face charges over RM24.2mil theft from bank accounts


KUALA LUMPUR: Ten people, including a bank manager, will be charged in Kota Kinabalu on Thursday over RM24.2 million in fraudulent withdrawals from fixed deposit accounts of bank account holders, Bukit Aman commercial CID director Ramli Yoosuf said.
At a press conference here, Ramli said the 10 suspects – who were detained earlier under Section 4(5) of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 – would be charged after police discovered evidence of organised crime in the case which occured in June.
“This is the first time that court action is being taken under provisions of Sosma for an offence involving commercial crime.
“On July 22, the deputy public prosecutor had given instructions to charge nine suspects under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code and one under the National Registration Regulations 1990,” he said.
Ramli said the group had started planning the theft at the end of last year and put it into action in March.
“They meticulously planned and siphoned money from fixed deposit accounts, including by using fake MyKad to carry out transactions and manipulating fingerprint scanners used by banks for verification,” he said.
Last month, police arrested a 38-year-old bank employee in Kota Kinabalu over RM24.2 million in allegedly fraudulent withdrawals from four fixed deposit accounts.
The arrest was made after police received four reports from account holders and bank staff in early June in Petaling Jaya when the victims noticed suspicious cash withdrawals made in Kota Kinabalu involving their fixed deposit accounts.
Ramli said the account holders had denied any knowledge of the transactions and had never been to Kota Kinabalu to make the withdrawals.
Police later detained 14 suspects, including bank officers and a businessman, after carrying out raids in Perlis and Sabah.
