Ampang PKR Youth chief Adam Rosly was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), according to Star Online.

Citing sources, the report said that Adam was detained after he turned up for questioning at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.

"He was seen with his hands cuffed at the lobby of our headquarters at about 4.10pm, prior to being brought to another location," the report quoted a source as saying.

According to the report, Adam is expected to be held overnight for questioning and the remand hearing would be held tomorrow.

"The MACC is investigating the case under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001," the source added.

Adam, 28, is the special officer to Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin.

Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos had questioned the source of Adam's wealth by publicising the fact that this young politician owned a large house in Ampang.

Adam, who has a 'Datuk' title, claimed that his wealth came from his business and inheritance.

It is believed that this is the third time Adam had turned up at the MACC headquarters to assist in investigations.
