KUALA LUMPUR: A lawyer for an investment company and believed to be linked to the co-founder of low-cost airline MYAirline was released on police bail last Friday.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf, in a statement today, said the 62-year-old man was released at 9 pm at the Pudu Police Station, here, but would be called back by the police to record his statement.

Besides the lawyer, the other three suspects comprised a treasury assistant, a finance assistant, a research and development (R&D) manager and a shareholder of the same company.
On Oct 17, police arrested the co-founder of the local airline, who has a Datuk title, along with his wife and son at their residence in Shah Alam to facilitate investigations under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. – BERNAMA
