KWAP eFishery probe: No evidence of criminal wrongdoing found so far, says MACC


KUCHING: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has so far found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing involving corruption or misappropriation in its investigation into the Retirement Fund Incorporated’s (KWAP) RM163.4mil investment in Indonesian aquaculture firm eFishery.

MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said, however, that the full findings would only be available after investigators obtained financial information and documents from overseas banks, including those in Singapore and Indonesia.

"To date, 19 individuals have been called to assist in the investigation and have had their statements recorded. They include officers from KWAP, the Finance Ministry and Khazanah.

"No arrests have been made as we have not found it necessary to do so at this stage. However, the investigation is still ongoing,” he told a press conference on Thursday (Aug 13).

Abd Halim said investigators were also working to obtain statements from identified witnesses who were currently overseas.

"It can be reported that the domestic investigation is almost complete. We are now awaiting procedures to obtain Mutual Legal Assistance from several countries.

"There should be no issue about the process, but it may take some time as certain legal procedures must be followed,” he added. — Bernama
