The money had been stashed in the home of one of the four suspects.

Citing a source, the New Straits Times reported that the money was found kept in multiple bags and safes in several rooms.

Investigators also seized jewellery, documents and electronic devices during the raid.

The anti-graft agency is said to be looking into the source of the money and a “key figure” who is believed to have played a role in the matter of the seized funds.

Yesterday, Harian Metro reported that MACC had arrested four officers linked to former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The anti-graft agency’s chief commissioner Azam Baki later confirmed the arrests and said the case is being investigated under Section 16(a) of the MACC Act, which deals with soliciting and accepting bribes.

Last year, the MACC began a probe into RM700 million allegedly used for promotional and publicity purposes to showcase the government’s achievements during the two previous administrations, from 2020 to 2022.
