Things have seemingly settled online after the MYAirline fiasco two weeks ago. At the time, many were upset with MYAirline’s abrupt suspension of their operations, but others later suspected the airline of being involved in money laundering.
Since then, police have been investigating the issue, even detaining MYAirline co-founder Datuk Allan Goh Hwan Hua to assist in their inquiries. However, it isn’t over yet. Earlier today (23rd October), another suspect was brought in to help further the investigation.
Datuk Allan will be released on bail later as his remand reportedly ends today. His wife and son, who had also been detained with him last week, were released last Saturday. However, police have reportedly brought in another suspect who is allegedly related to the ongoing investigation today after detaining him at his home in Bangsar earlier this morning.
“The suspect is a shareholder in i-Serve Online Mall Sdn Bhd (i-Serve) and is in his 40s,” Bukit Aman Commercial Crimes Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf shared. He also added they would be bringing the suspect to the centralised Jinjang lock-up to be remanded.
Several assets have also been seized during the investigation, police reports. Allegedly, 23 vehicles, documents connected to i-Serve Technology and Vacation Sdn Bhd, six luxury wristwatches, eight luxury handbags, two laptops, a CPU and 10 pieces of jewelry have been impounded. Previously, police reportedly added they were also looking into identifying assets, including bank accounts and other properties.
However, Datuk Seri Ramli claims that they will still be investigating further. He also clarified that currently, they were focusing on important documents related to i-Serve’s business transactions, an e-commerce company of which Datuk Allen is also allegedly a shareholder.
Just last month, i-Serve and six other affiliated companies were reportedly fined by Bank Negara Malaysia for operating without a proper license for accepting deposits. Prior to that, in October 2022, they were charged with illegal deposit-taking and money laundering and fined RM50 million.
