SHAH ALAM - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has initiated a probe against a senior Umno leader, allegedly involved in a corruption scandal.

MACC Anti-Money Laundering Division Deputy Commissioner Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin said the investigation is still on-going.

"So far, the MACC is examining the relevant documents which links the leader to the corruption case.

"We have not yet set a date for him to appear at the MACC headquarters to record evidence," he told Sinar Harian on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the media reported that an investigation had been initiated by MACC against an Umno senior leader who allegedly accepted bribes.

The investigation was carried out by MACC after receiving a report from the Umno Information Chief of the Setapak Jaya 1A Branch, Kuala Lumpur Setiawangsa Division, Datuk Halim Rahmat.

The report made on April 6 had requested MACC to probe allegations by a news portal linking the allegations of logging projects and land lease in Negeri Sembilan from 2008 to 2010, with bribes allegedly used to buy assets abroad.
