Kota Kinabalu: Three suspects have been remanded here and in Kuala Lumpur in connection with a high-profile RM33 million fraud case involving a so-called Small and Medium Industries investment scheme. 

Among them is a 59-year-old woman who was arrested at an apartment in Penampang on June 5 on suspicion of engaging in fraudulent activities related to the scheme.

Two others were remanded in Kuala Lumpur on June 8.

The case is believed to involve multiple suspects.

It was learnt that police would seek the woman to be remanded further, among others, recording detailed conversations, role in the alleged fraud, collecting evidence such as documents and fingerprints and tracing potential accomplices. 

During the initial remand proceedings before Magistrate Lovely Natasha Charles, police presented strong grounds to seek the remand extension.
