The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has not ruled out calling prominent individuals, including high-profile figures, as part of its investigation into the alleged purchase and transfer of a luxury property worth US$13 million (RM53 million).
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said anyone with links or relevance to the investigation could be called in to assist, including the wife of a former prime minister, if necessary.
He was responding to questions on whether Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, would be summoned over the agency’s newly launched Ops Agam probe.
“There will be no diversion or limitations in our investigation. We will look into all aspects, from top to bottom, and cover every angle,” Abd Halim told reporters during a special MACC press conference today.
“When answering whether the wife of a former prime minister will be called in, anyone will be summoned if they are connected and relevant to our investigation process,” he said.
The probe comes after police opened an investigation into allegations linking Rosmah to the purchase or financing of a luxury property in New Jersey, United States, reportedly valued at US$13 million.
He said investigations could also be opened under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA) if elements warrant further action.
“At the same time, we will conduct financial analysis to identify any links involving transaction flows, asset ownership or the receipt of funds connected to 1MDB funds.
“If the investigation points towards 1MDB-linked funds, asset recovery measures will be carried out under AMLA to recover the assets and return them to the government,” he said.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail had previously said police received three reports related to the matter, with investigations ongoing.
Rosmah had earlier lodged a police report urging authorities to investigate claims linking her to the property.
The latest development comes as enforcement agencies continue examining allegations involving the ownership and transfer of high-value assets as part of efforts to trace possible financial irregularities. – July 9, 2026
