Malaysia Airlines flight 370 update reveals that there have been amounts of money stolen from four bank accounts belonging to the passengers of the said ill-fated plane.
The whereabouts of the Malaysian jet still remains a huge mystery in the history of aviation since it went missing in the air traffic control when it departed from Kula Lumpur International Airport en route to China on March 8. There were several theories pointed to be the reason as to how and why the plane went missing such as the theory of hijacking and terrorism; however, it was later on dismissed. After obtaining several satellite images of what's believed to be the debris of the aircraft, Malaysian authorities then ruled in that it definitely crashed somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
As the search mission continues for the missing jet, flight 370 update has recently revealed that a bank officer and her husband have been arrested after being suspected of stealing money from the passengers of the missing plane. More than $30,000 was reportedly stolen from four bank accounts. The transactions have been noted to have occurred sometime in July, about five months after the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysian aircraft.
Flight 370 update also suggests that authorities are also looking for a Pakistani who is believed to have received a portion of the stolen money through online transfer. Authorities did not yet reveal the name of the bank where the transactions have been made. Investigators are still looking for more evidence before they take the necessary actions.
Despite of the tragic crash of another Malaysian plane in Ukraine, the government is still working on the mission for the missing jet. Australian authorities have already awarded Fugro the contract to search for the seafloor where the plane was believed to crash. The Dutch company will be using two vessels equipped with side scan sonar, multibeam echo sounders and video cameras; however, no further flight 370 updates about the location has been made.
