KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 27 — The Terengganu police warned that those harbouring the main suspect of an umrah package scam case involving Yayasan Bakti Negara Terengganu (YBNT) will face stern action.

Terengganu police chief Datuk Aidi Ismail said the suspect, Mohd Adam Mohd Ghazali, 30, who was believed to be constantly on the move and changing hiding locations had succeeded in escaping police raids.

"Those found harbouring wanted suspects and helping to conceal their information will be charged under Section 212 of the Penal Code which provides a jail term of up to five years,” he said when met by Bernama here.

Previously, the former director of YBNT was remanded from Dec 27, 2016 to Jan 21, 2017, to facilitate investigations in the case which involved losses of around RM4.5 million.

The suspect was released on police bail after the end of the remand period, while waiting for instructions from the state prosecutor.

However, the suspect had reportedly gone missing since December and was last seen in Pasir Mas, Kelantan. — Bernama
