SHAH ALAM, Nov 13 — The police are awaiting instructions from the office of the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) regarding 15 more cases of individuals impersonating the aide-de-camp (ADC) of the Raja Muda of Selangor in vehicle and property transactions.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said that 17 investigation papers have been opened based on the police reports received, and all of them have been completed before being referred to the Selangor DPP office for further instructions.

“Yesterday and today, the DPP agreed to charge a male and female suspect in court under Section 109 and Section 420 of the Penal Code.

“As for the other 15 cases, the police are waiting for feedback from the DPP’s office for any further instructions,” he said at the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) media conference at the Selangor police contingent headquarters (IPK) here today.

Earlier, the media reported that Al Zulfadly Alias, 40, pleaded guilty while another accused, Nurul Nur Syahirah Kamarudin, 37, pleaded not guilty at the Klang Magistrate’s Court on charges of fraud involving the sale of an auctioned vehicle worth RM40,000 in April.

Yesterday, both the accused recorded their pleas at the Shah Alam Magistrate’s Court regarding the charge of fraud involving the sale of an auctioned vehicle worth RM30,000 in May.

The police had previously confirmed the arrest of a man believed to be the main suspect in a vehicle and residential sales fraud case using the image of the Raja Muda of Selangor around Johor Bahru on October 27.

Commenting further, Shazeli said the investigation found nearly 27 cases reported nationwide, including 17 in Selangor, with estimated losses amounting to RM1.4 million.

He also expressed appreciation to the public who came forward to cooperate in providing information until the suspect was brought to justice and advised the public to be vigilant to avoid becoming victims of fraud.

Meanwhile, Shazeli said his team also successfully dismantled two online fraud syndicates or ‘call centres’ with the arrest of 11 individuals in two operations in Sungai Long, Kajang and Taman Aman Perdana on November 3 and 10 respectively.

“The syndicate, which has been operating since September, targets foreigners living abroad as victims by offering them investment schemes and ‘love scams’.

“All the suspects, including 10 foreign nationals, aged 22 to 45, acted as customer service operators. The police also seized various equipment worth RM20,000,” he added. — Bernama
