The MACC will first determine whether former Batu Kawan Umno vice-chief Khairuddin Abu Hassan’s report on attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali contains allegations of corruption before determining the next move.

MACC strategic communications director Rohaizad Yaacob ( photo ) said today the anti-graft agency has yet to receive the report.

“Yesterday he (Khairuddin) made the report, so we will now table it before our evaluation committee […] if the report contains elements of corruption, we will probe.

“We are tasked with corruption offences. For (other) offences, we will send them to the related agencies,” he told Malaysiakini when contacted.

Asked on how long the investigation will take, Rohaizad said this was under the purview of the operations team and he could not comment on it.

“I believe they will table the file at the committee's meeting today,” he added.

Yesterday, Khairuddin lodged a report against Apandi over the latter's alleged abuse of power abuse in clearing Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak of wrongdoing in the the RM2.6 billion donation and SRC International funds which were deposited into the premier's personal bank accounts.

"We ask that the MACC investigate whether there was any element of abuse of power of criminal negligence over the attorney-general's stance to clear the prime minister," he told journalists outside the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.

Detained under Sosma

Khairuddin is seen as a loyalist of former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad who has vowed to oust Najib as prime minister.

He was detained for almost two months in September under the Security Offences (Special Measures Act) on grounds of economic sabotage after he lodged police reports across the globe claiming misappropriation of funds by 1MDB.

Apandi had last week cleared Najib of any wrongdoing in the two cases and revealed that a remainder from the RM2.6 billion donation had also been returned to the purported Arab donor.

Najib has consistently denied any wrongdoing and claimed the massive deposits in his personal bank accounts were political donations for general election use.
