MACC to submit investigation paper on Ops Sky to DPP, says Azam Baki


KUALA LUMPUR: Graft Busters are expected to submit the investigation paper on Ops Sky to the Deputy Public Prosecutor next week, says Tan Sri Azam Baki.

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said the investigation, on the operation, targeting corruption and money laundering involving a financial consulting firm and officials from multiple financial institutions, has already been completed.

"We will submit the investigation paper to the DPP next week.

"I hope the DPP will expedite making a decision on further action to be taken on the case if there are no queries (on the investigation paper).

"We hope it will be expedited as the rakyat wants to know a decision and development on the case," he told reporters after attending the graduation ceremony for participants of the Certified Integrity Officer (CEIO) programme on Tuesday (April 22).

It was previously reported in February that the MACC was finalising its investigation into 'Ops Sky'.

Azam had said the probe is expected to conclude within a month, after which the findings will be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor.

"To complete the investigation, the MACC plans to interview an additional five to 10 witnesses, including bank officers, employees of the consulting firm, new borrowers, and individuals from related organisations

Azam emphasised the importance of these testimonies, particularly from bank officers, to clarify specific procedures and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the case.

In January, Ops Sky led to the arrest of 12 individuals and the seizure of 4,000 documents, with 98 bank accounts frozen, amounting to over RM17mil.
