PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is not involved in the probe by police into Global Ikhwan Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISB).
Its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said at the moment, MACC has not seen any corruption element based on the police investigations into the case.
"We will leave it to the police as we don't see the element of corruption," he told reporters here today (Sept 18).
Last Wednesday, police launched a massive crackdown on welfare homes operated by GISB.
The raids saw 402 children, aged one to 17, being rescued from alleged exploitation and abuse.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain was quoted saying the victims had endured various forms of exploitation and abuse, including being sodomised.
He also said initial investigations revealed that caretakers had also taught the children to sodomise other children.
GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd has since denied the allegations and any links to the case.
It was also reported that GISB has been on the police 'watch list' since 2011, and the coordinated raids on 20 welfare homes were the culmination of a six-month probe to gather intelligence, build a case, and formulate an action plan.
Police had been monitoring the company long before the recent allegations of child exploitation and abuse went viral on social media.
Razarudin had said that he met with representatives from the Research Centre for Deviant Teachings (Pukas) six months ago.
