MACC summons Tun M's son, Mokhzani
MACC Act, AMLATFPUAA focus in Mokhzani investigation
PUTRAJAYA - Prominent businessman Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir has been summoned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
It is understood that Mokhzani, arriving around 11am, was investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed Mokhzani's attendance.
"Yes, he was present this morning," Azam said.
This development follows Mokhzani's brother, Mirzan Mahathir, who appeared at the MACC on Jan 17.
The investigation focuses on Mokhzani's alleged shares in Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) that received government contracts and a fabrication structure license from a national petroleum company during their father's prime ministership.
On Jan 18, the MACC issued a notice order to Mirzan, demanding asset declaration within 30 days.
This action is part of an ongoing investigation into the Panama Papers report and Mirzan's alleged dealings in GLC company sales and purchases.
