KUALA LUMPUR: Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be called up by graft busters on Thursday (April 24), says Tan Sri Azam Baki.
The Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said the MACC will resume recording his statement.
*Our focus will be on his asset declaration, which was done under Section 36 (1) of the MACC Act 2009," he told reporters after attending the graduation ceremony for 586 participants of the Certified Integrity Officer Programme (CEIO) on Tuesday (April 22).
Azam previously said the first phase of the investigation into the former prime minister had been completed, and they were moving on to the next phase.
Ismail Sabri last recorded his statement at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya on March 24 for an investigation on corruption and money laundering concerning the expenditure and acquisition of funds for the promotion and publicity of the Keluarga Malaysia programme during his tenure as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022.
The case is being investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
On March 3, Azam said Ismail Sabri is a suspect in the case following the discovery of approximately RM170mil in cash at a "safe house" during a raid.
