A fugitive Vietnamese businesswoman was sentenced to 10 years in jail on Thursday, her second sentence in absentia as the country's communist authorities push on with an anti-corruption purge.
KUALA LUMPUR: Harsher punishments may await owners and real estate agents who rent out premises to scam syndicates, with property owners or their agents potentially considered as accomplices, said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
Separately, Comm Ramli said four more suspects have been arrested yesterday in connection with the probe into i-Serve, bringing the total number of persons arrested to eight. Comm Ramli said she was also appointed to the board of directors for the companies Trillion Cove Sdn Bhd, Trillion Cove Holdings Bhd and Win Capital Holdings.
The third suspect is a 48-year-old man who started working at i-Serve Technology & Vacation Sdn Bhd as a research and development manager in 2006.
