Mandiri disiasat kerana terima dana disyaki hasil aktiviti haram, kata KPN
Khalid Ismail berkata Mandiri didakwa menerima dana disyaki hasil daripada aktiviti menyalahi undang-undang.
Ketua Polis Negara Khalid Ismail stated that the police investigation into the youth group Mandiri will be conducted professionally and meticulously. Mandiri is currently being investigated following a police report alleging the group received funds from illegal activities since 2024 to the present. Khalid revealed that the police initiated an investigation into money laundering on September 10 under Section 4(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering, Financing of Terrorism and Illegal Activities Act 2001, applicable to Mandiri Development Centre Sdn Bhd.
The relevant section provides for a prison sentence of up to 15 years and a fine of at least five times the value of the illegal activity or RM5 million, whichever is higher.
Mandi Development Centre Chairperson Amir Hadi and his deputy Dobby Chew were arrested by the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Bukit Aman yesterday to assist with the investigation. The arrest sparked criticism from civil society groups and some DAP politicians who urged Amir and Chew to be released immediately. According to the statement, the police have a commitment to carry out a comprehensive investigation into any party suspected of being involved in the case, including matters related to the storage, transfer, and use of funds, as well as the inflow and outflow of funds suspected to be derived from illegal activities.
The police also assured the public that the investigation will be conducted professionally, accurately, and in accordance with existing laws.
On September 18, more than 20 police officers stormed a shared office in Petaling Jaya between Mandiri and Hayat, an NGO run by Chew. The group surrendered financial records, audit reports, tax documents, payroll records, a computer, and a USB drive containing financial information. The investigation follows recent enforcement actions against both, including freezing personal bank accounts and prohibiting travel for Amir and Chew, preventing them from leaving the country.
