GEORGE TOWN: Three Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers have been remanded for four days to assist with investigations related to a multi-state lorry driver protection racket that was busted recently.
They were detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) here to help with a probe of bribery cases detected under Ops Sukat and connected to four other states, namely Kedah, Perlis, Perak and Melaka.
It was reported on Tuesday (March 16) that MACC arrested 44 individuals including 32 JPJ officers over a corruption case involving RM1.64mil.
The three men were the only ones remanded out of nine who were arrested in Penang.
