Two individuals were arrested yesterday in connection with an investigation into a document forgery syndicate targeting vehicle ownership papers, according to authorities in Perak.
The detainees include a company director and a car broker, who presented themselves at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Perak for questioning. The arrests form part of an ongoing probe into the suspected criminal network.
The case centres on the alleged forging and fraudulent issuance of motor vehicle ownership documents, a practice that authorities say poses significant risks to legitimate vehicle ownership and registration systems across the country.
The investigation remains active, with authorities indicating further inquiries into the scope and scale of the suspected forgery operations. The detained individuals are expected to face charges related to their alleged involvement in the scheme.
The MACC has not disclosed additional details regarding the investigation at this stage.
