In a statement issued Tuesday (Oct 12), the AGC said it had returned the papers to MACC for further action.
"The AGC has studied the investigation papers regarding the missing US$6.94mil which it received on Sept 28 from the MACC.
"The Chambers have discovered that there are other offences that require further investigation by the enforcement agency.
"The investigation papers have been returned for further action," it said in the statement.
On Sept 21, MACC confirmed that three of its senior officers were remanded for six days to assist in the investigation into allegations of abuse of power and malfeasance.
