PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob returned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today to continue giving his statement in an investigation into allegations of corruption and money laundering linked to him.
The vehicle carrying the country’s ninth prime minister arrived at the MACC headquarters here at 10.54am.
Ismail was later seen leaving at 5pm after nearly six hours of questioning.
The Bera MP is being investigated over suspected corruption and money laundering involving expenditure and funding for promotional and publicity programmes under the Keluarga Malaysia initiative during his tenure as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022.
The case is being investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
MACC chief Azam Baki recently said that the investigation into the case was only about 15% to 20% complete.
