KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained three individuals suspected of money laundering and misappropriating public donations designated for Aman Palestin.
Sources said all three male suspects, in their 40s and 50s, were detained about 11.30am today at the MACC office in Putrajaya when they presented themselves for questioning.
"The three individuals, including a chief executive officer of a company, will be charged at the Shah Alam Sessions Court in Selangor tomorrow at 9.00am with over 100 charges.
"Initial investigations found that all suspects were involved in these activities between 2018 and 2023," sources said.
Meanwhile, sources also confirmed that the suspects would be charged under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
Earlier this year, it was reported that MACC was verifying the donations that Aman Palestin has channeled to various countries and its recipients.
MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the commission is also looking into the companies that were established by the charity organisation.
