Football association CEO among four held in RM6 mil bribery scandal

Investigations reveal bribe was related to ‘securing racing circuit tender,’ and ‘managing reservoir operations’ in a state

KUALA LUMPUR – A chief executive officer of a football association in the north and three others will be remanded for three days until January 7 for allegedly soliciting bribes of more than RM6 million.

The four, including two consultants of a football association, aged between 40 and 60, were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday when they gave their statements at the graftbusters’ office in Kedah, from 5pm to 6.30pm.

The remand order was granted by magistrate Siti Norhidayah Mohd Noor at the Alor Star magistrate’s court this morning.

According to sources, investigations found that the money was banked into an account belonging to a football association.

The money was believed to be a bribe for “assisting a business owner in obtaining a tender to build a racing circuit and to manage operations and maintenance of a state’s five reservoirs”.

Meanwhile, MACC Investigation Division senior director Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hashim confirmed the arrests of the four individuals.

The case is being investigated under Section 16a(B) of the MACC Act 2009 for soliciting and receiving gratification. – January 5, 2024
