PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has frozen and seized assets worth over RM332mil as part of an extensive investigation into a scrap metal and e-waste smuggling syndicate, which allegedly bribed enforcement officers, leading to a loss of over RM950 million in export tax revenue over the past six years.
An MACC source reported that 27 witnesses have been questioned so far, including a primary suspect whose statement was recorded on Monday (July 21). No arrests have been made at this stage.
