SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) has enlisted the help of Interpol to track down the businessman suspected of soliciting a RM1 million bribe to "settle" the murder case of China national Xu Jian Huang.

State ACA director Ja'afar Mahad said this was because the businessman, who disappeared after being released on bail by the agency, is believed to have fled the country.

"We are in the process of locating him to apprehend him because he has broken bail conditions," he said.

It is understood that the businessman was released on bail to seek treatment in China.

He was released after posting RM20,000 bail in two sureties, on the understanding that he would be recalled if the ACA had the evidence to charge him.
ACA sources revealed that the agency now had enough evidence to prosecute the businessman for allegedly soliciting the bribe.

On Saturday, the businessman's house was splashed with paint, believed to be by loan sharks judging by the writings painted on the exterior walls.

The incident in Kapar happened at midnight, when the businessman's family members were not at home.

The businessman, who is the chairman of a non-profit organisation in Klang, is also believed to be sought by the police to assist in investigations in a case of criminal intimidation of a former assemblyman.

On May 15, the 57-year-old businessman was remanded by the ACA to assist in investigations into the bribery allegations.

However, after he was released on bail, the businessman failed to appear in court.

Xu, a student at the Mutiara International Grammar School, was found dead four years ago in a bungalow in Jalan Mengkuang, Kuala Lumpur on Sept 26, 2004.

His uncle, Koh Kim Teck, and two bodyguards, Resty Agpalo and Mohamad Najib Zulkfli, were charged with the the teenager's murder but all three were acquitted later.
