MACC hunts 4 in 1MDB probe

The MACC says they are being sought to help in investigations into the sovereign fund.

PETALING JAYA:
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is tracking down four individuals to help in investigations related to 1MDB.

The individuals include three 1MDB officers, Tang Keng Chee, Geh Choh Heng and Loo Ai Swan.

MACC is also seeking an individual named Tan Kim Loong whose name was first mentioned in a Singapore court in May 2016 after authorities there slapped a seventh charge on ex-BSI private banker Yeo Jia Wei.

Tan also goes by the name Eric Tan.

According to The Edge, Yeo had been accused of fraudulently facilitating the payment of US$11.9 million from the BSI account of SRC International (M) Ltd (British Virgin Islands) in Switzerland to a DBS Bank account in Singapore that belonged to a company owned by Tan, called Affinity Equity International Partners Ltd, on Dec 23, 2013.

The charge sheet stated that Yeo had facilitated the payment to Tan/Affinity via an “intermediary” by investing in BVI-based Pacific Harbor Global Growth Fund AA4.

MACC included the photos, ages, full names and addresses of the four individuals in its statement issued today.

“MACC urges the individuals to come forward or contact MACC immediately in order to help with the investigations,” the statement read.

MACC also urged anyone who knows or has any information regarding the four individuals to contact officer Nur Aida Arifin at 03-8870 000 (extension: 0323) or email her at [email protected].

Alternatively, officer Nahar Haris could also be contacted at 03-8870 0000 (extension: 0388) or through email at [email protected].

The public can also contact the nearest MACC office.
