The Umno Supreme Council member entered the MACC on his own at 2.55pm and was greeted by a few MACC officers.

Last September, Azeez, his brother and their cousin were arrested after being called in for questioning over investigations into allegations of soliciting bribes.

In May, the MACC seized RM500,000 in cash from Azeez’s home as part of a probe into the appointment of contractors for Tabung Haji projects under the MACC Act.

A MACC source had then said the case was also being probed under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

It was also reported that the MACC had conducted raids on Azeez’s houses in Subang and Baling as well as his office on Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, Kuala Lumpur, on May 23.

The MACC later confirmed that Azeez and his brother, Latif Abdul Rahim, were arrested at 4.30pm to facilitate investigations relating to bribery and money laundering following the go-ahead from the Attorney-General’s Chambers to prosecute them.

Both will be charged in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow at 9am according to the SPRM Act 2009 under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLTAFPUAA).
