Court rejects MACC's bid to forfeit RM3mil from AGA Touch


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has failed in its bid to forfeit RM3mil that was seized from a bank account belonging to AGA Touch (M) Sdn Bhd, an IT firm, allegedly linked to the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) fund scandal.

This followed a decision by High Court Judge Datuk Muhammad Jamil Hussin in dismissing the application after finding that the commission had failed to prove the money was proceeds from unlawful activities.
