JOHOR BARU, MALAYSIA: Kluang district police have smashed a "black money" scam gang with the arrest of four Nigerians, including a woman. They allegedly cheated the victims by exchanging forged US bills for ringgit. State police chief Datuk Mokhtar Shariff said two of the Nigerian men were arrested in a flat in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, on Tuesday.
Their accomplices were arrested in Kluang the next day. He said police also found 1,000 forged US$100 bills.
Meanwhile, Mokhtar also said investigations into the murder of a businessman would continue despite the suspects' unconditional release recently. Six men, including a Johor Baru City councillor, were earlier picked up to facilitate investigations.
