MACC resumes questioning Ismail Sabri over Keluarga Malaysia case

Former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has returned to the MACC headquarters today for further questioning in an ongoing corruption and money laundering investigation.

The Bera MP arrived at 9.57am, marking his fifth appearance there to assist in the probe.

He was initially scheduled to give his statement yesterday, but the session was postponed for unspecified reasons.

The investigation focuses on allegations of misappropriation involving the expenditure and procurement of funds for the promotion and publicity of the Keluarga Malaysia programme during his tenure as PM from August 2021 to November 2022.

The case is being investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

On Monday, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said new investigation files had been opened following fresh intelligence and findings, adding that several matters still require Ismail Sabri’s explanation.

On March 3, Azam said the former prime minister was a suspect in the probe, following the discovery of approximately RM170 million in various currencies and 16kg of gold bars in a safehouse during an MACC raid.
