The husband-and-wife top officers in the Pahang Customs Department who are suspects in alleged money-laundering and tax evasion activities involving billions of ringgit, have been released unconditionally since their remand to assist investigations.
The man was released yesterday. His wife was freed on Friday.
The lawyer for the 51-year-old officer said magistrate Nordiana Abdul Aziz had ordered the suspect to be released after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) told the court that they had completed their investigations on him.
The MACC will be submitting the investigation papers to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further instructions.
The couple were detained on March 28 following a raid on their house where several hundred thousand ringgit in cash was seized.
The raid was part of a joint operation conducted in Penang, Johor, Selangor and Pahang by a special task force which comprised the Commission, the Inland Revenue Board, the Customs Department and Bank Negara.
