KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained four officers, linked to the ninth Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, on suspicion of corruption.
An MACC source revealed that remand orders for the four individuals were issued last Friday, by Magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin, at the Putrajaya Court.
“Three individuals have been remanded for five days, starting Friday, while the fourth was remanded for three days and released today,” the source said.
