PETALING JAYA: Graft busters have arrested one more suspect linked to a syndicate that raked in more than RM10mil in"payments" from companies providing umrah services.
"The suspect is the managing director of a travel agency and was arrested at 3.30pm after presenting himself to give his statement at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya," the source said.It is also believed that the suspect had given bribes to the main two suspects as payment for helping his travel agency obtain umrah flight tickets.
Preliminary investigations showed that the agent company showed no wrongdoing but the officers within had manipulated the selling of tickets by having a commission from other travel agencies."As such, there was no worry of any reductions of quotas by the Saudi government to the airline because the agent has successfully fulfilled the ticket quotas that were allocated," the source added.
