PETALING JAYA: Bank accounts belonging to two Malaysians have been frozen by Western Australia's Supreme Court, which granted an Australian Federal Police (AFP) application to have the three accounts locked down under restraining orders following alleged links to money laundering.

Each account, which was opened at the Canning Vale branches of ANZ and the Commonwealth Bank, during trips to Perth in August and September, have a combined value of more than A$2mil (RM5.7mil), the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported Sunday.
