MACC has seized nine luxury cars as part of their investigations on a former political secretary to a former minister and a businessman with the title of Datuk Seri.

They had allegedly solicited and accepted bribes from several companies that were awarded contracts worth millions of ringgit from a ministry between 2020 and 2021.

The seized vehicles were purchased with the proceeds of corruption.

According to reports in Sinar Harian, the vehicles seized are a Rolls Royce Ghost V12 Ewb, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Brabus, Range Rover Autobiography, Porsche Cayenne, Toyota Land Cruiser, Mini Cooper Works Rhd, Toyota Alphard, Toyota Vellfire dan Mercedes-Benz S400L.

A Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) source said the seized vehicles were currently kept at the MACC warehouse.

MACC in a statement said the Putrajaya magistrate's court had earlier granted a three-day extension to the remand order for the duo, both in their 40s.

Before this, the MACC had obtained an order to remand the two men for four days, which expired today.

MACC's senior director (special operations) Datuk Azmi Kamaruzaman, in confirming this, said the case was being investigated under Section 16 of the MACC Act 2009 for accepting gratification. - The Vibes, January 27, 2024
