KUALA LUMPUR: Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) will extend its full cooperation with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's probe into its sand mining concessions.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari's press secretary Jay Jay Denis said this would enable the graft-busters to conduct a thorough, swift investigation before the next course of action.
"MBI will fully cooperate with MACC to enable the investigations to proceed with transparency to uphold integrity," he said when contacted.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki was reported as saying that four people had been taken into custody. One of them is a 45-year-old former MBI employee.
Azam said a politician linked to the investigation would be summoned once commission investigators had gathered and verified all necessary evidence.
Several investigation papers had been opened under the Anti-Corruption Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001.
The MACC had uncovered two more "safe houses" and seized RM321,000 in foreign and local currency in its probe into a multi-million ringgit corruption scandal involving MBI.
On Saturday, the MACC raided a residential unit and found S$1.529 million, in what was referred to as a "safe house" to store bribe money.
