Former Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED) CEO P. Chitrakala Vasu was charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today with three counts of cheating
The corporate body was cheated of about RMN four million ($1.24 million).
The court allowed her bail a day after she was formally arrested and interrogated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the media reported.
MACC director of investigations Mustafar Ali said Chitrakala was called to the commission headquarters and was arrested when she arrived at 2.30 p.m. on Monday.
It is learnt that the 39-year-old spent a couple of hours at the MACC headquarters where her statement was recorded.
