KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation into businessman Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir is believed to be tied to his father, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's abuse of power, says a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source.
"The investigation was in relation to his father's abuse of power. Both of the investigations on Mokhzani and Mirzan are related to the father.
"Mokhzani's case however, is not in relation with Mirzan's case," the source told the New Straits Times when contacted.
Earlier, it was reported that Mokhzani was given a notice by the graftbusters to declare all his assets regardless of whether it's in the country or abroad.
The businessman was summoned by MACC on Friday at 11am and has been given 30 days to declare his assets.
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.
On Jan 18, MACC reportedly requested Mirzan 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.
The MACC has also confirmed that Daim is expected to be charged next week.
