âMACC is actively tracing additional witnesses to complete the investigation. We remain committed to concluding this case, which concerns public interest, as soon as possible,â he said.
Earlier reports indicated that nearly RM300 million was collected between 2021 and 2024 from roughly 1,700 investors for investments in two companies allegedly linked to the Tan Sri. Preliminary checks suggest the funds were diverted and spent for purposes not aligned with agreements made with investors.
Sources added that two investigation papers have been opened concerning the allegations against the Tan Sri, who is suspected of misappropriating close to RM300 million in investment money. MACC also detained two individuals and conducted searches at five premises across the Klang Valley on as part of the operation.
