KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation into the alleged misappropriation of RM3mil in public donation funds by an influencer couple and two other individuals is almost complete, says Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
"The investigation paper is almost finished, and if I'm not mistaken, the investigating officer has already referred it to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for review," he told reporters after launching the Anti-Corruption Initiative Programme to Empower Accounting and Auditing Practices here on Wednesday (Aug 14).
They are suspected of engaging in the act since 2020 by allegedly misappropriating the collected donations.
