MACC Raids 9 Safe Houses & Seized RM 6.92 Million Cash Link To MBI & Azmin Ali

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating 20 projects under the Selangor Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) believed to be linked to corrupt activities.

“We are going to check 20 projects involving the state (of Selangor) which we have been informed have received bribes. These are projects which have to do with state interests.

“These projects are not linked to the current Selangor Mentri Besar.

“We need to wrap up our investigations and collect the evidence before we call the said politician. We do not know if there are other Selangor politicians involved – for now, it is only one Selangor politician,” said MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has confirmed today that it is investigating five companies linked to a Selangor politician under investigation over alleged corruption involving a sand mining concession.

Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki told reporters that officials seized RM600,000 during a raid of six premises yesterday, linked to said Opposition politician.

“We are currently reviewing a few companies, with five identified so far, as they reportedly have shares associated with the arrested individual and the politician in question,” he said after a roundtable programme here.

Additionally, he added that the MACC is also investigating information regarding potential graft payments related to this case.

However, he said he cannot disclose further details about the project at this time.

During a raid on Saturday, the MACC had uncovered S$1.5 million (RM6 million) at a site identified as a safehouse for an influential politician.

On Monday, Azam said that officers had located two more safehouses, one of which held approximately S$74,000, equivalent to RM243,000 at current exchange rates.

He also said that the MACC discovered about RM78,000 in another office and received information regarding additional cash concealed in various bank accounts.

The MACC has launched multiple investigations under the Anti-Corruption Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.

He said this to the media after officiating at a roundtable for commercial banks organised by the MACC today.

“This morning, we have been granted a seven-day remand for the 45-year-old former COO of MBI, whom we arrested before this and managed to get only one-day remand and was released.

“Today, he was rearrested and the Magistrate’s Court granted the remand.

“We had arrested two – connected to the MBI case – prior to this, and the other is still in remand for five days, of which I announced yesterday.

“On the latest development on the MBI case – six more premises were raided by MACC. Among the findings were RM600,000 cash in a residential premises in the Klang Valley yesterday (Oct 16), suspected to be for the politician.

“We are also looking into five companies that allegedly have shares in the companies which involved the ones we arrested and the politician.

“The premises which we have raided do not belong to the suspects and some were rented houses.

“If we are to call in anyone to give statements, we have to do our work. I cannot say how long it will be before we call the politician. When we want to call someone important, we have to get wholesome evidence. I have advised my officers to only call the politician when the evidence is sufficient.

“Many have been called to give statements – as of now about 18 individuals,” said Azam.

He added that there will be more arrests connected to this issue.
