PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is investigating the head of a government-linked corporation, who allegedly paid the RM1.4mil for PAS over an out-of-court settlement between Sarawak Report's Clare Rewcastle Brown and party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, The Malaysian Insight reported.
The online news portal said a MACC source said the individual concerned was being investigated under "money laundering laws, as the funds were moved from several accounts linked to him before being transferred to Rewcastle Brown".
