MACC to probe online media company over smuggling link
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission will investigate an online media company following the arrest of two of its staff members believed to be involved in a smuggling syndicate in the south.
MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed that the owner of the company would be summoned soon to provide a statement.
“We have reason to believe the media company is being used as a front to enable and facilitate money laundering activities,” Bernama reported him as saying today.
Azam said an investigation is ongoing to determine the company’s involvement in the alleged smuggling operation.
He also confirmed that the two journalists arrested are believed to have previously served in the armed forces.
“An initial investigation suggests they may have provided information to the smugglers,” he said.
