MACC confirms freeze on Bersatu bank accounts
MACC chief Azam Baki says an investigation is being conducted under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Azam Baki today confirmed that several bank accounts belonging to Bersatu had been frozen to assist in an investigation.
"An investigation is being conducted under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act," he told Bernama when contacted.
It is understood that this is related to MACC's investigation into the alleged misappropriation of RM600 billion in funds used by the government when the country was dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Dec 6, 2022, Azam said MACC had opened an investigation paper into the alleged misappropriation of funds by the previous government.
