MACC seeks to forfeit over RM169m in cash belonging to Ismail Sabri

MACC has filed an application to forfeit over RM169 million in cash belonging to former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

MACC, represented by the deputy public prosecutor as the applicant, filed the application at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court naming Ismail Sabri’s former political secretary Anuar Yunus and the former premier himself as first and second respondents.

In the application, the commission is seeking a court order to forfeit cash of various currencies seized from the first respondent for the government, including RM14,772,150; S$6,132,350, US$1,461,400, three million Swiss francs, €12,164,150, ¥363,000,000, GBP50,250, NZ$44,600, AE$34,750,000, and A$352,850.

The application was made under Section 41(1) of the MACC Act 2009 after the commission was satisfied that the money kept by Anuar belonged to Ismail Sabri and was linked to an offence under Section 36(2) of the same Act.

The commission also applied for other court orders deemed suitable by the court.
