TI: Umno must prove it is legitimate owner of seized money


PETALING JAYA: Umno needs to prove that the money seized from the residences linked to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak legally belongs to them before the party has any legitimacy to claim it, says Transparency International (TI) Malaysia.

Its president Datuk Akhbar Satar said since the authorities were investigating the case under the Penal Code, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009 and Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA), Umno needed to provide a paper trail or documented evidence to show where the money came from.
