KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) has cleared Umno Deputy President Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan of money laundering involving RM10 million.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong said investigations into allegations of graft by Mohamad were made by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) earlier this decade, and that the investigation papers were presented to the AGC in 2011.
“In 2013, the AGC decided that no further action on the case (would be taken) and ended the investigation.
“However, in April 2019, the investigation papers were given for a review. And on May 2, the AGC maintained its decision (of) no further action (NFA) after reviewing the investigation papers,” he said in a written reply at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Liew was responding to a question from RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) on the MACC’s findings on allegations that Mohamad had remitted RM10 million through a money changer for the purchase of an apartment in London.
