An unknown number of Victor Chandler International support staff has been arrested in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Interactive Gaming News has learned.

According to Phil Hall, a spokesman for Victor Chandler International, the company is unsure about what motivated the arrest.

"We believe there's been a mixup," said Mr. Hall, who spoke to IGN by telephone Friday. "It is a customer service center, an I.T. center, and has never been used for any sort of gambling or the taking of bets.

"It is therefore not in breach of any Malaysian gambling laws. We're confident that this mixup will be put right very shortly."

The detainees are expected to be released on bail Saturday, he added.
