71 held in nationwide raids on mule account syndicates

Police arrested 71 individuals, including eight foreigners, in 59 raids for mule account activities, seizing cash and ATM cards.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 — Police have arrested 71 people, including eight foreigners, suspected of acting as mule account holders in 59 raids nationwide under Op Khas Kad ATM. The operation, conducted with Bank Negara Malaysia between July 29 and 31, saw seizures including 925 ATM cards, RM392,266 in cash, and five cars.

CCID director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said suspects, aged 19 to 50, were linked to scams, illegal moneylending, and unlicensed remittance services.

“Lending or leasing out your bank account may seem harmless, but it is a serious criminal offence,” Rusdi warned.
