The man, who was detained by Pakistani authorities, has been released after investigations determined he had no connection to the fraud ring being probed by local law enforcement, the Bukit Aman police headquarters said.
The release follows a period of detention in which Pakistani authorities conducted inquiries into the suspect's background and potential involvement in the criminal network.
Further details regarding the circumstances of his initial detention and the exact duration of his time in Pakistani custody were not immediately disclosed by the police headquarters.
The case underscores ongoing transnational criminal investigations in the region, where Malaysian citizens have occasionally been caught up in cross-border law enforcement operations. Authorities did not indicate whether the fraud syndicate investigation remains active or if other suspects remain under scrutiny.
