Police probe withdrawals from MH370 passengers' bank accounts

Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian bank employee is under investigation over withdrawals totalling more than 31,000 dollars from four bank accounts of passengers of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, police said Friday.

Izany Abdul Ghany, chief of police in the Commercial Crime Investigation Department, said a bank manager reported the suspicious transactions on August 2.

Based on an initial investigation, money from the accounts of three passengers on the missing airliner were transferred to a fourth account owned by another passenger, Izany said.

Several withdrawals have been made at ATMs from the fourth account.

All the four accounts were at the same bank.

Another police source said a 32-year-old bank employee was being investigated for possible involvement in the crime since he was the one who approved the renewal of the ATM card which was used to withdraw from the fourth account.

"This looks like an inside job," the source said. "It will only be a matter of time before we get to the bottom of this."

The Beijing-bound flight MH370, with 239 people aboard, disappeared without a trace after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8.

My feeling is there will never find the plane in this life time .

 

God rest their soles

I wondered why Interpol never checked people's bank accounts, ATM transa toons of mobile phone records after the crash to see if they were still being used.

well there ya go.......ATM accounts kept alive to maintain the accounts of the Mobiles still alive at the bottom of the ocean...

 

...I gave myself a headache just in thinking about it

Why would Interpol be involved in this?

Malaysia has only now sent a ship with sonar equipment to look for MH370.

Big problem....... likely these people are not officially dead.  If a partner on the account uses it, seems legal?

hasn't malaysia officially declared them lost??

 

if the account(s) were Joint, then the surviving partner can resume using the account, which btw, can still carry the name of the deceased partner of the account. 

This brings us back to the start, as if it was the case above, then no suspicions would have been raised...

A ship has been dispatched with money detecting equipment to search for the missing money.

 

Witnesses say, they spotted some coins as traces where the investigation can start.
