PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has frozen 20 bank accounts with about RM740,000 in its investigation into the misappropriation of funds involving a social media influencer couple and two others.
An MACC source said the accounts belonged to individuals and companies believed to be linked to the funds that were donated by the public through an online crowdfunding platform.
“Since investigations began, MACC has seized and frozen 20 accounts to assist in its probe. There is a possibility that several more bank accounts will be frozen,” said the source.
Zamri Zainul Abidin, the director of MACC’s anti-money laundering division, confirmed the matter.
Yesterday, MACC further remanded Hazalif Hazani, 30, also known as Alif Teega, and his wife, Aisyah Hijanah Azhari, 26, until tomorrow to assist in its probe into allegations of misappropriating funds donated via the JomDonate crowdfunding platform.
