They were called in for questioning at 10.30am and exited the MACC’s headquarters here nine hours later.

Speaking to reporters after the trio left, Rajesh claimed that the anti-graft agency did not inform his clients as to why they were questioned.

“The entire questioning process was one giant fishing expedition,” said Rajesh, who is one of the lawyers representing Naimah and her two sons.

“They went on a fishing journey to try and find information to charge Daim.

“You’re not even disclosing what’s the offence. This is against natural justice.”

Rajesh said based on his understanding, MACC is not likely to call his clients for questioning again.

Meanwhile, another lawyer representing the trio, Sachpreetraj Singh Sohanpal, said the MACC officers told his clients that they were being questioned to find out if they committed any offence.

He claimed that the MACC officers’ exact words were “we are investigating to find out what offence was committed.”

“They failed to tell us what the offences are. How can they do that? There is no valid basis to this,” he said.

Sachpreetraj added that Naimah was asked “about 50 questions” while her two sons were asked “about 30 to 40 questions”.

Last month, MACC seized the 60-storey Ilham Tower, reportedly belonging to Daim and his family, under Section 38(1) of the MACC Act 2009 which deals with the seizure of immovable property.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said that the agency was probing Daim for alleged corruption and money laundering.

Daim has since denied any wrongdoing, labelling the probe as “nothing short of a political witch-hunt”.

Naimah today claimed that her husband was being “persecuted” for his success as a businessman.

She claimed that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had a vendetta against her husband and had accused Daim of possessing illegal riches without furnishing any evidence to back the allegations.
