PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has submitted its recommendations to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) to charge Mara Corp officials with abuse of power.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said they had submitted a file on the case to the AGC for scrutiny and had also proposed a list of names of those to be prosecuted.
On the report alleging that the AGC would “drop” the case against three Mara officials who were supposed to be prosecuted, Azam said no notice had been received from the AGC for the case to be dropped.
“As far as we are concerned, we have investigated and submitted our views that there are sufficient statements and evidence to propose several charges against several individuals,” he told reporters after attending the presentation of MACC Media Awards 2021 at the MACC headquarters here today.
“As of now, I don’t want to comment or say that those involved in the case will not be charged,” he added.
On Feb 5, MACC confirmed receiving a report on alleged integrity issues involving several senior Mara officials, who were being investigated internally by the agency.
On Feb 7, MACC raided several Mara offices to collect documents related to the case.

Nothing will come of this.
ReplyDeleteAt least part of the money was diverted for political purposes, and those in power need to "protect" those actions, even if the perpetrators were lining their own pockets.
That is the how of "legal corruption" in Malaysia.
