MACC sources revealed that these accounts, including personal and company accounts, are suspected to have been used for receiving donations online.
"There is a possibility that more bank accounts will be frozen," stated the sources.
MACC anti-money laundering division director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed the matter when contacted.
He said the accounts were frozen under Section 44 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
