Ismail Sabri leaves MACC HQ after another round of questioning


PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has left the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here after a third day of questioning on Monday (March 17).

The Bera MP, who waved at media personnel, left at 4.32pm in a black multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) accompanied by police escorts.

On March 3, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki disclosed that Ismail Sabri is a suspect in an ongoing corruption and money laundering investigation following the discovery of approximately RM170mil in cash at a safe house during a raid.

The cash, held in numerous currencies such as baht, riyal, pound sterling, won, euro, Swiss franc and yuan, was seized alongside 16kg of pure gold bars valued at nearly RM7mil.

Additionally, 13 bank accounts containing over RM2mil have been frozen as part of the probe.

The investigation focuses on funding sources and expenditures related to promotional and publicity activities during Ismail Sabri's tenure.
