KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General's Chambers must explain the contradiction in statements between the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and former Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas over the discharge given to film producer Riza Shahriz Abdul Aziz who was accused of money laundering.
Following the court's decision, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission said in a statement that the government was expected to recover overseas assets worth an estimated US$107.3mil following an agreement struck between the prosecution and the accused. Meanwhile, senior lawyer Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu said Thomas should lodge a police report and file a civil suit over the matter."The MACC is bold enough to make a statement, surely they have a concrete foundation," he added.
According to the charge sheets, the sum – US$1,173,104 ; US$9mil ; US$133mil ; US$60mil and US$45mil – was channelled from Good Star Ltd and Aabar Investments PJS Ltd into the bank accounts through wire transfers.
