Not enough evidence to charge Xavier, MACC says
Anti-graft agency says the investigation papers were classified as 'closed to keep' after a review by the deputy public prosecutor.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has concluded its corruption investigation into former Kuala Langat MP Xavier Jayakumar. The decision to close the case was made in 2024 due to a lack of sufficient evidence to charge him. MACC opened two investigation papers against Xavier in 2021 under Section 16(a)(A) of the MACC Act 2009.
The length of an investigation, the commission stated, depends on the case's complexity and the need to gather, review, and verify information and evidence. All investigations are conducted professionally, transparently, and based on facts and evidence, free from any external influence. MACC requests all parties to refrain from speculating or making assumptions about the matter as the investigation has been completed.
