MACC mulls roping in foreign forensic experts for TH probe
MACC chief says 14 probe papers have been opened covering various investments, agreements and contracts.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is contemplating the involvement of foreign forensic experts to aid in its investigation of the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) report on the Tabung Haji (TH). Chief Commissioner Abd Halim Aman revealed that the probe encompasses investments, agreements, contracts, meeting minutes, and numerous related documents.
The sheer volume of documents necessitates a specialized examination and expertise, according to Halim. Discussions regarding the appointment of these experts will also take into account the associated costs. As of now, MACC has initiated 14 investigation papers and executed several enforcement actions, including arrests, remands, and seizures.
Inspections and searches have been carried out at 28 locations. Over 110 witnesses have been interviewed, with their statements recorded at the MACC office, while seven suspects have been detained, five of whom have been remanded.
