    KOTA KINABALU: The MACC has raided two more safehouses and seized RM321,000 in addition to the RM5mil in foreign currency confiscated earlier from a politician’s safehouse.

    Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the latest raids were conducted on Sunday (Oct 13) around the Klang Valley and Kuala Lumpur area.

    “In total, we have detained four people and taken statements from 15 witnesses,” he said.

    The detained people include a director of a company, a former Mentri Besar Selangor Incorporated official who is a 45-year-old man, a former driver aged 43, and a 46-year-old woman who is a former financial officer, Azam said.

    He said the driver was only detained a day as he had prostate cancer and two were released on MACC bail on Oct 13 while another was still remanded until Oct 15.

    “We believe there is more money that is being invested in Singapore and saved in other banks, and we will continue our probes on this matter,” he said after officiating at the Integrity Convention here on Monday (Oct 14).

    He believes more raids, arrests and witnesses would be called to facilitate the investigations under the MACC Act and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA).

    On whether the politician said to be linked to this case is currently in government or inactive, he said it is still being investigated.

    MORE TO COME.
