KUALA LUMPUR: A former telecommunications company executive whose life in the fast lane was fuelled by a multi-million ringgit pornography SMS racket, has been detained by the police.
The 34-year-old suspect who reportedly amassed RM11mil by operating the racket via his company, was picked up by a team of policemen from the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department at about 10pm on Tuesday.
It is learnt the man was with his family at their house in Putra Heights near Subang Jaya at the time of the arrest.
The arrest followed a police report filed last week against the multi-million ringgit racket.
Initial investigations revealed that the man had allegedly masterminded the sales of SMS which offered three-minute pornographic video clippings to subscribers.
It is understood that the man charged RM3 for each pornographic SMS which he sent to subscribers over the years, amassing millions of ringgit.
According to a police officer who declined to be named, although the suspect earned about RM4,000 a month, he owned a Porsche and BMW cars, purportedly bought with money earned through the sale of the porn SMS.
Police obtained a three-day remand order at the Jalan Duta Court Complex here yesterday to facilitate investigations.
The case is being investigated under Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998, that is, the improper use of network facilities or network service.
It is learnt that the suspect was suspended by a telecommunications company before he allegedly started the pornographic SMS racket. — Bernama
