A 27-year-old despatch rider of a trading company was remanded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) this morning,  making him the fifth person detained over the last one week in the investigation into debt-ridden state fund, 1Malaysian Development Bhd (1MDB).
Magistrate Nik Isfahanie Tasnim Wan Ab Rahman granted four days' remand on Tazri Talib, who was detained at 6.30pm at his family home in Bentong, Pahang yesterday by the special government task force to investigate 1MDB.
Tazri is being held under Section 16(a) of the MACC Act for alleged bribery.
Others detained were Jerome Lee, group executive director of construction firm Putrajaya Perdana Berhad, Datuk Shamsul Anwar Sulaiman of Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd, Ariffin Ismail Shahul Hameed of a trading company, and Datuk Rosman Abdullah, who is managing director of a construction and development company.
Both Shamsul and Lee were released on RM100,000 bail in two sureties each, while three others are still in MACC custody.
Lee was released on Friday. Information online showed that 39-year-old is group executive director of construction firm Putrajaya Perdana Berhad, and it is learnt he had been previously employed as an investment director with 1MDB. 
Lee is also said to have dealings with SRC International Sdn Bhd, which is now owned by the Finance Ministry but was once a subsidiary of 1MDB. The company was also mentioned in allegations by The Wall Street Journal as one of the entities in the flow of money to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal accounts. 
Shamsul of Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd was released on bail yesterday.
Rosman, Ariffin and Tazri are currently being remanded for investigations.
Ariffin, 28, the owner of a trading company, was remanded on Friday for four days after being arrested on Thursday night.
