KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 – Police have opened an investigation into non-governmental organisation (NGO) Mandiri Development Centre Sdn Bhd and arrested two of its directors.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail stated that the two men were detained at 3:53 PM on Tuesday by the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Team from the IGP Secretariat at Bukit Aman.
The individuals were arrested to assist in ongoing investigations under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Act 613).
“The investigation paper was opened on Sept 10 following a police report lodged after a review of the company’s receipt of funds suspected to be proceeds from unlawful activities between 2024 and 2026,” Mohd Khalid said in a statement today.
He affirmed that police will execute a comprehensive investigation in accordance with established laws into all entities and individuals suspected of involvement in the network.
The investigation will inspect the holding, transfer, and utilization of the funds, including account deposits and withdrawals suspected of being tied to illegal activities.
Mohd Khalid advised the public against speculating or disseminating unverified information regarding the case to avoid compromising the integrity of ongoing police inquiries.
The two directors were initially summoned to Bukit Aman yesterday to have their statements recorded before being formally placed under arrest upon the completion of the procedure.
