Police say they have identified the suspects responsible for the mysterious withdrawals from the victims of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 which disappeared more than five months ago. The transactions are believed to have occurred in July, well after the 227 passengers and 12 crew members disappeared. The transaction was said to total 111,000 ringgit or approximately $34,911.
Izany Abdul Ghany, City Commercial Crime Investigation Department Chief, stated that the suspects transferred money from three of the passengers’ personal bank accounts into the account of a fourth passenger. He said, “The suspects then made an Internet transfer of RM 35,000 to another account, believed to be that of one of the suspects, two weeks prior to July 18 and made ATM withdrawals of RM 5,000 daily until the account was empty…we are now trying to trace the identity of the suspect who opened that account.” The missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 is believed to have crashed near the southern Indian Ocean. All 227 passengers and 12 crew members are assumed to be dead. An underwater search for the remains of the crash has been suspended but it is set to begin early September.
