THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has hauled up a former minister for questioning concerning the Pandora Papers scandal. The 84-year-old ex-minister was asked to explain the money flow of 12 offshore companies owned by him and his family. The MACC may call the latter again for clarification.
A son of a former prime minister will also be called by the MACC soon with more people also expected to be probed in relation to the Pandora Papers.
A source told The Star that investigators are looking at many angles, but the probe is still at an early stage. Thus far, no accounts have been frozen yet although if necessary, the MACC will seek for accounts to be frozen.
In this regard, the anonymous source contended that the MACC will be focusing its investigation on whether the assets and investments that the minister and his family are involved in abroad stem from government projects.
