PETALING JAYA - A Malaysian is reportedly involved in organ trafficking by luring poverty-stricken victims from around the world to sell their organs, according to a UK newspaper.

The report claimed he began using a Facebook group two years ago to buy and sell kidneys, sourcing potential organ donors from the poor. The Sun claimed that the man had boasted to them that he had more than 100 potential kidney sellers, in which his fees include bribes for a clinic in Manila, the Philippines to perform the operation.

The report said the man initially charged a fee of £55,000 for supplying the kidney and an additional £65,000 for payment to the clinic but eventually dropped the total fee to £85,000.According to the report, the man said that the rules banning transplant operations between donors and recipients who are not friends or related by blood are sorted out with bribes and forged papers.According to The Sun, the Malaysian was allegedly involved in the illegal trade since 2010.
