Could it be that the company did an 'Ahmad Mazlan' move? So, maybe technically this is not a fine but just a return of the laundered money....

No need report if can't name names.

Why isn't the company named? At least public will be aware, isn't that the purpose?

Which company is this? The case has already been carried out in open court and the verdict has been passed, but why do our newspapers still don't publicly name the wrong doers?
