[UPDATED] MACC still tracking down Muhyiddin's son-in-law

PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has yet to locate businessman Datuk Seri Muhammad Adlan Berhan, who is the son-in-law of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the MACC have not been able to bring Adlan back to face charges for criminal breach of trust.

The commission had prepared several criminal breach of trust charges against Adlan.

It was reported that Adlan denied MACC's claims that he was not cooperating with its investigation.

A statement from his lawyer, Datuk Dr Baljit Singh Sidhu, said that throughout the time Adlan was here, MACC neither arrested him nor called him for a meeting to assist in its investigation.

However, Adlan was later contacted by a MACC officer, whom he had responded to in a letter dated June 3.

"In the letter, our client stated that he is travelling overseas for business and will return once these affairs are attended to.

"He gave a tentative date of return and impressed upon the MACC that there is witch-hunting and finger-pointing being orchestrated against him to his utter detriment.

"To date, our client has not received a formal reply from the MACC," Baljit said.

Baljit added that Adlan would certainly return to Malaysia as soon as possible to answer all questions and to assist the MACC with any investigation so long as the elements of threats and persecution are eliminated.
