KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has summoned Tan Sri Mohkzani, another prominent figure from Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's family for questioning today.
This development was confirmed by the MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki, when contacted by Berita Harian today.
It is believed that Mokhzani, a businessman, appeared at the MACC headquarters about 11am, reportedly linked to asset declaration notices.
Sources said Mokhzani was being investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.
Yesterday, BH was reported that certain individuals and entities are expected to receive asset declaration notices under Section 36(1) of the MACC Act soon.
On January 18, MACC reportedly requested Mirzan Mahathir to declare all movable and immovable assets under his possession, both domestically and internationally, within 30 days from the date of the notice.
Last Tuesday, the wife of former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, Toh Puan Na'imah Abdul Khalid was charged in the Sessions Court for failing to comply with MACC notices by not declaring her assets.
This comes after Naimah and her two sons, Amir and Amin, on Jan 10, were summoned to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to have their statements recorded.
MACC has also confirmed receiving approval from the Attorney General's Chambers to prosecute Daim.
