KUALA LUMPUR: More than RM2mil in missing funds 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The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director said the funds were withdrawn from three fixed deposit accounts in 108 transactions from Feb 14 last year until June 24.
“We believe the 11 accounts the money was transferred to are owned by the main suspect’s relatives and acquaintances.
“While the female bank staff, 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 CCID headquarters on Thursday (July 25).
A police report was lodged about the missing money by the accounts owner on July 9.
Unauthorised transactions were discovered after the account holder went to the bank to make a withdrawal on June 27.
An investigation by the bank management discovered that a 37-year-old female bank staff member made the transactions.
The funds were deposited to several other accounts.
However, the main suspect died on July 5.
