Malaysian police have identified the suspect who allegedly withdrew through approximately $35,000 in fraudulent bank transactions from four bank accounts belonging to victims of the doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 that vanished on March 8.
The Malay Mail Online said funds were withdrawn from the accounts of two Chinese nationals, Ju Kun and Tian Jun Wei, and two Malaysians, Hue Pui Heng and Tan Size Hian. The bank accounts are believed to be with HSBC, according to the Star. Malaysia police have identified several suspects and believe they had help from inside, the Star reported.
The suspects transferred funds from three passengers’ personal bank accounts into the account of a fourth passenger through internet banking, the New Straits Times reported. The suspects then withdrew the money through the fourth victim’s account via several automated teller machines in the Klang Valley, Malaysia.
The withdrawals were done in stages over the past five months until the account was empty. A sum of RM35,000 belonging to one victim’s account was transferred into an account under the name of “Ali Faran,” an unknown individual, on July 14.
HSBC Bank Malaysia first noticed the withdrawals on July 18 and conducted an internal investigation of the missing funds, which are said to total approximately $35,000. Police were notified of the suspicious transactions on August 2, the New Straits Times reported.
