Sabah Umno says this shows the action is politically motivated.
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno has slammed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for being selective over the civil forfeiture applications against 41 individuals and entities, including the party’s state chapter.
Aziz was referring to Upko’s bank account being frozen by the MACC since the change of government last year and that it cannot pay back the RM1 million it allegedly received from former prime minister Najib Razak. Latheefa had said the forfeitures, filed under Section 56 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, are to recover RM270 million of 1MDB money transferred to Najib’s account and later to the individuals and entities.
This means that MACC has probed this case and failed to charge any recipient on criminal grounds, he said, adding that, hence, the chief commissioner, a former PKR Supreme Council member, has chosen this forfeiture approach.
