Accounts containing RM740,000 frozen in probe


PETALING JAYA: Over a dozen bank accounts containing around RM740,000 belonging to an influencer couple and two others were frozen as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigates the misappropriation of public donations.

A source said the accounts were personal and company in nature, and were reportedly used to receive donations online.

The seizures have been ongoing since the investigation started last Wednesday.

“There is a possibility that more bank accounts will be frozen,” the source added.

MACC anti-money laundering director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed the case.

On July 10, a husband and wife were among four suspects arrested by MACC for allegedly misappropriating more than RM3mil in public donations over the past four years.
