KUALA LUMPUR: Five people, including two bank officers, have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a syndicate that withdrew RM24.2 million from several savings accounts.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf today said police had detained two bank officers and three others.
Last Thursday, a bank employee was arrested on suspicion of being an insider and conspiring with a syndicate to withdraw RM24.2 million from savings accounts.
Ramli said police had received four reports earlier this month about suspicious withdrawals.
He said the reports were lodged by victims (account holders) and bank staff in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, alleging cash withdrawals in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, involving fixed deposit accounts.
