Businessman G Gnanaraja has been detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and will face fresh charges on Monday (April 8).
The 38-year-old was arrested at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya on Sunday (April 7) at around 11.40am.
He will be brought to the Sessions court on Monday at 8.30am to face charges under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
Last week, Gnanaraja was accused of cheating Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd executive director Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli of RM19 million between July and August 2017 at various locations in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.
Gnanaraja was said to have deceived Zarul into believing that he could help him close money laundering investigations against him by the MACC.
He pleaded not guilty in the Shah Alam Sessions Court.
