PETALING JAYA:
A “Tan Sri” who allegedly misappropriated sukuk funds for the construction of a highway had his statement recorded by the anti-graft agency at his residence in Bandar Tasik Selatan, Kuala Lumpur, today.

The “Tan Sri” also had his house in Melaka raided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Sinar Harian reported.

“But nothing was seized or confiscated,” the daily quoted a source as saying.

On June 7, MACC chief Azam Baki said the “Tan Sri”, who was recently discharged from hospital, would be summoned by graft busters.

Media reports also said that 45 witnesses who previously gave statements had been called again to provide additional information.

On June 3, MACC seized a luxury condominium, a plot of land worth RM24.5 million, and nine vehicles worth RM7.65 million. It also froze 14 individual bank accounts holding RM4.5 million and eight company accounts holding RM33 million.

It likewise seized luxury watches valued at around RM25 million, handbags valued at RM3 million, jewellery and diamonds worth RM6 million, four horses valued at RM400,000, and premium alcoholic beverages worth RM3 million.

MACC is also tracking down luxury vehicles and properties owned by the “Tan Sri”, both locally and abroad, including in London and Switzerland.
