He said the matter has been referred to the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director for further action, and a team of investigators may be sent to Pakistan to monitor the progress of the investigation.
“Some of them (the Malaysians detained) have visas and some have expired.
“The Pakistani government is assisting us as best it can to ensure the investigation is carried out properly. The CCID will continue to communicate with the authorities there,” he told reporters at the Royal Malaysia Police Pensioners’ Association’s Jasamu Dikenang dinner here last night, Sinar Harian reported.

Acocrding to ProPakistani the case is being investigated under Sections 13, 14 and 16 of Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016, amended in 2025, as well as Penal Code provisions on extortion, impersonation, fraud and abetment.

吉隆坡，10月31日讯——警方证实，近日有130名马来西亚人因涉嫌参与网络犯罪集团在拉瓦尔品第被巴基斯坦当局拘留。
警察总监丹斯里莫哈末·哈立德·伊斯梅尔表示，警方正通过外交部与巴基斯坦当局密切合作，以获取有关拘留的全部细节。
他表示，此事已移交武吉阿曼商业罪案调查部（CCID）主任作进一步处理，并可能派遣调查小组前往巴基斯坦监督调查进展。
“他们（被拘留的马来西亚人）中有些人持有签证，有些人的签证已经过期。
据《阳光日报》报道，他昨晚在马来西亚皇家警察退休人员协会举办的“Jasamu Dikenang”晚宴上告诉记者：“巴基斯坦政府正在尽最大努力协助我们，以确保调查得到妥善进行。刑事调查局将继续与巴基斯坦当局保持沟通。”
当被问及被拘留者的身份时，莫哈末·哈立德表示，尚未获得这些人的完整资料，但已确认他们是不同种族的马来西亚护照持有者。
此前，巴基斯坦新闻门户网站 ProPakistani 报道称，巴基斯坦国家网络犯罪调查局 (NCCIA) 在获得法院搜查令后，突击搜查了巴赫里亚镇第八期 KASA 大厦的场所。
对该场所的电子设备进行检查后发现，该场所可能被用于诈骗马来西亚人。
据称，嫌疑人通过网络电话应用程序联系受害者，冒充银行客服人员，声称受害者的账户中存在可疑或未经授权的交易。
随后，这些电话被转接到其他冒充马来西亚警察的人，其中一些人据称穿着警服，并在视频通话中使用类似办公室的背景，以洗钱指控、刑事案件和法律诉讼为由威胁受害者，然后迫使他们转账。
据信，这笔款项先是通过 Touch 'n Go 电子钱包收到的，然后通过多个渠道兑换成加密货币。
报道称，该犯罪集团据信由一名在柬埔寨活动的马来西亚人运营，据称他通过巴基斯坦的呼叫中心主管和经理来指挥运营。
警方还确认了一名据信从该犯罪集团获得加密货币并将其兑换成巴基斯坦现金的中国公民。
据 ProPakistani 报道，此案正在根据巴基斯坦 2016 年《电子犯罪预防法》（2025 年修订版）第 13、14 和 16 条以及刑法典中关于敲诈勒索、冒充他人、欺诈和教唆的条款进行调查。
受害者遭受的总损失、已确认的受害者人数以及行动中缴获的现金价值尚未公布。
