PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) visited the premises of FashionValet founders to gather documents and affidavits related to its investigation.
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said investigators would accompany the couple to their premises after completing the statement-taking process today.
"As of today, our investigators have taken statements from nine witnesses. Investigators are visiting their premises to collect documents and affidavits and to assess their assets," he said today.
FashionValet founders Datin Vivy Yusof and Datuk Fadzaruddin Shah Anuar were seen leaving the MACC headquarters compound in Putrajaya around 4.23pm in a black Toyota MPV.
It is understood that investigators spent about three hours questioning the pair today.
Sources indicated yesterday that they were scheduled to resume the statement-taking process at 10:00 am today. Media personnel had gathered outside the commission's headquarters from early this morning, hoping to obtain comments from both individuals.
However, the two were only seen entering the headquarters compound at around 12.54pm. Attempts by the media to speak with them were unsuccessful, as they later departed in the black MPV in the evening.
Yesterday, it was reported that the couple was questioned by the MACC.
According to sources, they arrived at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya, where they were interrogated as part of ongoing investigations.
Earlier reports indicated that the couple would be questioned today as part of the MACC's probe into RM43.9 million in alleged investment losses involving Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah) and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).
The MACC had previously called four witnesses from PNB, Khazanah, and the Finance Ministry to provide statements that would aid in the investigation.
As part of the probe, the MACC seized several documents during searches at the Finance Ministry, Khazanah, PNB, and FashionValet Sdn Bhd's headquarters yesterday.
On Nov 1, the couple had announced they would step down from their roles at FashionValet, citing the ongoing investigation into the sale of PNB and Khazanah's stakes in the company.
They said that the decision was made to protect the company, which is currently undergoing financial restructuring.
