Police freeze RM4.3b, seize RM1b in assets in crackdown on corporate mafia, says Anwar

The Royal Malaysia Police’s Anti-Money Laundering (AMLA) Investigation Team has frozen RM4.3 billion in funds and seized RM1 billion in assets as part of a crackdown on alleged corporate mafia activities between late 2022 and September 2026. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that enforcement actions during this period also resulted in the forfeiture of RM48.3 million in assets and the issuance of compounds totaling RM1.1 billion.

These measures are seen as the government's commitment to combat abuse of power, misconduct, and legal violations within the corporate and business sectors. Anwar's response came to a question from Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun during a session in the Dewan Rakyat, where Aminuddin sought an update on allegations of corporate mafia activities and the enforcement measures taken against those involved.
