PUTRAJAYA: Cooperation from more than three countries is required in its investigation involving a GLC, says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Its Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said this includes working with Brazil and Singapore in its investigation involving money laundering related to Sapura Energy Bhd.
Two Malaysians have been identified as proxies in these investments.
"Investigations into the company involve money laundering, including an investment with a company in Brazil.
"We need to obtain statements overseas with the assistance of Brazil, Singapore, the Netherlands and other countries to identify how the transactions occurred until the money arrived here," he said at a press conference at the MACC headquarters on Thursday (May 22).
Previously, the MACC confirmed it was investigating a businessman with a "Tan Sri" title for money laundering linked to Sapura Energy Bhd shares amounting to RM500mil.
On the forensic report of the video alleging corruption involving several Sabah state assemblymen, he said the report was handed to the investigation officer last week.
All those involved will be called back for statements, he added.
Azam did not elaborate when asked if the video had been determined to be authentic, saying this would prejudice the case.
In 2024, a news portal reported on several video recordings allegedly showing state assemblymen receiving substantial sums in exchange for supporting a company's project application in a state.
