Sources said two persons of interest have been identified – a senior member of the company's management who holds a "Tan Sri" title and a company adviser. Both are believed to be overseas.
Investigators are currently gathering further information related to the allegations, sources added.
When contacted, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that an investigation into the company is underway.
The probe follows an investigation by the United Kingdom's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) into suspected money laundering and corruption.
