In a statement today, the MACC said all three individuals, aged between 50 and 65, were arrested in an operation conducted between 1 pm and 5 pm in Putrajaya.

"This operation is a continuation of Op Outlander carried out by the MACC recently, and the Home Ministry has extended full cooperation in the investigation,” the statement said.

All three individuals are currently having their statements recorded at MACC headquarters in Putrajaya for further investigation.
