PUTRAJAYA: Two enforcement agency officers stationed at the Malaysian High Commission in Bangladesh were remanded to assist in a probe in connection with the issuance of visas.
It is learnt that the two were ordered to return home recently and the two were remanded for three days until Thursday (April 20).
Sources said the officers' assistance were needed by graft investigators probing into visa issues and the entry of tourists and workers from Bangladesh to Malaysia.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said that graft investigators had discovered "suspicious transactions" involving accounts belonging to the two suspects.
"This was why they were ordered to return home to Malaysia so that they can explain this," said a source.
Sources said more than 20 accounts had been frozen.
"To date, assets estimated to worth RM3.1mil had been seized. Aside from the accounts, eight plots of land have been seized in connection with the case," a source said.
It is not immediately known whether the two suspects had been released when their remand order ended on Thursday.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed the matter.
He also did not rule out the possibility that more arrests would be made.
Azam said that the MACC is tracking the whereabouts of 31-year-old Siti Liyana Sajikan to help the investigation, adding that her last known address is 51, Jalan Hjh Jamrah at Kg Seri Desa, 86100, Ayer Hitam, Johor.
Those who know or have information on the said imdividual are urged to contact investigation officer Jayaraj Rajan at 016-6371082.
