KUALA LUMPUR: More than RM2mil from fixed deposit accounts of a bank in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, was transferred to 11 different bank accounts, says Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director said the funds were withdrawn from three fixed deposit accounts in 108 transactions from Feb 14 last year until June 24.
“The funds were transferred to 11 bank accounts.
“We believe the accounts are owned by the main suspect’s relatives and acquaintances.
“While the female bank worker, who is the main suspect, had died, our investigation on the owners of the bank accounts is still ongoing under Section 408 of the Penal Code,” he told a press conference at the CCID headquarters yesterday.
It was reported that more than RM2mil from fixed deposit accounts went “missing” at a bank in Kuala Kangsar.
A police report was lodged by the owner of the accounts on July 9.
There were unauthorised transactions from the accounts of a customer to a third party, believed to be carried out by a 37-year-old female bank employee.
It was uncovered after the account holder went to the bank to make a withdrawal on June 27 but was told that the funds had been transferred.
An investigation by the bank management discovered that one of their personnel made the withdrawal.
However, the employee died on July 5.
