IPOH: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) vice-president Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu hoped that the rule of law would prevail after the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) froze the party's account.
Ahmad Faizal who is also Perak Bersatu chairman said he confirmed that the party's account was indeed frozen by the MACC to facilitate the investigation.
"The MACC officers had visited the party's headquarters and done their due diligence.
"The freezing was done in the course of investigations. The party has given their full cooperation to MACC on this matter and hopes that the rule of law will prevail," he said when contacted by the New Straits Times today.
Earlier, MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that the graft-busters had frozen Bersatu's accounts.
Azam said the accounts were frozen to enable the MACC to investigate funds believed to have been obtained from illegal proceeds.
The investigations were under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
