The National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) case is far from being closed, said Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) chief Syed Ismail Syed Azizan.

He said police have not closed the case yet.

“We are still investigating the case, especially on the money trail. Hence, it is still on-going as we are still investigating.

“I also do not rule out that there will be further persons charged, but this would depend on the Attorney-General’s Chambers,” he said.

NONE Syed Ismail ( left ), is known to be vocal and had gone public to recommend that NFC chairperson Mohamed Salleh Ismail be charged with criminal breach of trust.

This comes after the investigation papers had been passed to-and-fro between the police and the Attorney-General’s Chambers several times before Mohamed Salleh was charged.

Mohamed Salleh, who is former Women, Family and Community Development minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil’s husband was finally charged last month with two counts of CBT and another two counts under the Companies Act 1965.

‘Good working relationship with AG’s Chambers’

Syed Ismail also said that the police have a good working relationship with the commercial division of the AG’s Chambers.

“We have been working well with the commercial division of the AG’s Chambers. We respect their views with regard to their right to frame the charge on the individuals involved,” he said.

It had been widely reported that NFC had been involved in the purchase of properties in Putrajaya and also in Singapore , allegedly using the RM250 million soft loan funds as leverage.

The  64-year-old Mohamed Salleh was charged with CBT for using RM9,758,140 of NFC funds to purchase two condominium units at the One Menerung complex, in Bangsar. He is also charged with transferring RM40 million of NFC funds to the National Meat and Livestock Corporation.
