KUALA LUMPUR: Police are currently scrutinising Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings' (GISB) finances to determine if any funds were channeled into accounts belonging to its senior leadership.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the Anti Money-Laundering Unit is poring through GISB's bank accounts, seized assets and studying the cash flow.
"While our personnel are looking into bank accounts linked to the company, we are also focusing on bank accounts belonging to the company's leadership as well.
"Further investigations are also being conducted to trace money allegedly collected from monthly contributions through GISB's representatives of each zone," he said when contacted.
Police, he said, are looking to establish how the money flowed within the company's businesses.
"This investigation will take time as we have to examine witness statements as well as intelligence gathered throughout our probe so far.
"We believe we have seized a large portion of its assets following phases one to four of Op Global," he said.
Razarudin said based on their observations, almost all premises linked to the company were no longer operating.
"The company's business activities have also slowed down following various posts on social media about the company since August.
"Our focus now is to gather as much information as we can in order to complete the investigation papers," he said, urging anyone with information on the company or victims to come forward.
On Wed, police said a joint probe with the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) showed that GISB has never paid its taxes.
Police had also frozen millions of ringgit worth of land, assets and vehicles linked to the company which was under probe for, among others, child labour, abuse and exploitation.
To date, they have also seized 38 vehicles worth almost RM4 million.
The Anti Money Laundering Unit also seized RM882,795.94 cash in 138 bank accounts. Fifteen of those accounts had been closed.
Among other assets frozen included 14 plots of land, while nine horses, 14 rabbits and three peacocks, RM18,650 cash and two watches worth RM600 were also seized.
