KUALA LUMPUR: Three suspects in Sabah’s “Watergate” scandal, which saw the authorities confiscate stacks of cash at the home of a senior Sabah Water Department official, will be charged in court tomorrow, says a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source.
The source told FMT that MACC had already handed over investigation papers on the scandal to the attorney-general’s chambers.
In October, MACC seized RM114.5 million in cash, money in several bank accounts, 20kg of jewellery, 94 handbags, foreign currency, nine luxury cars, watches and 127 land grants.
MACC began investigations on those it suspected of monopolising projects to rake in millions from the RM3.3 billion allocated for federal-funded projects to boost clean water supply in Sabah.
MACC had also obtained remand orders for 28 individuals, comprising a former director, two former deputy directors, 23 engineers and technicians, and two civilians linked to the case.
