KUALA LUMPUR, March 1— The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will summon former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob once more to assist in investigations into several corruption and money laundering cases.
Sources indicate that the MACC had already taken a statement from the Bera MP last week.
Sinar Harian reported that while MACC had already previously interviewed Ismail Sabri, the anti-corruption body did not rule out summoning him again depending on circumstances such as his health.
Recently four former officials linked to Ismail, including two individuals with the title ‘Datuk,’ were remanded by MACC on February 21 on suspicion of involvement in corruption.
Besides the four, the MACC also arrested a woman assistant to a special officer as well as an executive officer from a foundation.
In a statement last Thursday MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said that eight more witnesses would be called soon to assist in the investigation involving the four officials linked to Ismail Sabri.
