Azam said Mokhzani declared total assets amounting to approximately RM1 billion, with a personal value of RM316 million.
“His declaration has been analysed and assessed by my forensic officers,” he told a press conference at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters here.
He said that Mirzan, on the other hand, declared a total of RM246.2 million in assets, with a personal value of RM120 million.
“I am satisfied with the asset declarations provided by the two. We will provide further updates in due course,” he added.
Last September, Azam said the brothers had submitted their asset declarations within the timeframe provided by the anti-graft agency.
However, he said the investigation team was still liaising with the duo’s lawyers on a few matters.
MACC previously granted an extension to Mirzan and Mokhzani to declare their assets but did not disclose the length of the extension period.
The brothers were ordered by MACC in January 2024 to declare their assets dating back to 1981, the year Mahathir became the prime minister. The deadline for the declarations, initially set for February, had been extended twice.
Previously, MACC said Mirzan was asked to declare his assets as part of an investigation into information from the Panama Papers report and his business activities involving the sale and purchase of GLCs.
Mokhzani was reportedly being investigated under the MACC Act and Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Amla).
However, the two brothers have denied being the subject of any MACC investigation, saying they were merely ordered to declare their assets as the children of “a person suspected to have committed an offence under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009”.
Probe into Daim’s assets ongoing
Separately, Azam said MACC’s probe into the finances and assets of the late Daim Zainuddin and his family members is still ongoing.
“We are still investigating the assets declared to us. We need to verify the complaints we have received,” he said.
He also said the anti-graft agency had obtained data and information on the family’s overseas assets through international cooperation, indicating that there might be foreign assets to trace.
“If so, we will apply for the necessary measures. This process is not easy due to the involvement of different jurisdictions and legal frameworks.
“This is a challenge when dealing with international evidence, including the proxies they may have used,” Azam said.
