Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian police has arrested a bank officer and her husband over allegations they stole more than $30,000 from the accounts of four passengers aboard missing flight MH370, an official said on Friday.
The couple have been held in police custody since Thursday on suspicion of withdrawing 110,643 ringgit ($34,850) from the accounts of two Malaysian and two Chinese MH370 victims, said Zainuddin Ahmad, a district police chief in Kuala Lumpur.
Police is also looking for another suspect, a Pakistani man, who is believed to have received part of the money in his account through an online transfer, he added.
“We believe he is still in the country. But as to the full particulars of the case, it’s all still under investigation,” Mr Zainuddin said.
Mr Zainuddin declined to name the bank, where the woman in custody reportedly worked at for the last 10 years.
