MACC: RM2.6b deposited into PM's account not from 1MDB

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today said investigations revealed that the RM2.6 billion alleged to have been deposited into the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak's account was from donors and not from the 1MDB.
MACC in a statement, however, said their investigations into SRC International Sdn Bhd involving a fund of RM4 billion was still ongoing.
"The MACC would once again like to ensure that their investigations are conducted independently with utmost integrity, and professionally.
"It is hoped that all those concerned will remain patient and give the MACC room to conduct a thorough investigation," it said.
On the police investigations on certain MACC officers, the commission said it would provide its full co-operation.
"We would like to reiterate that there are no MACC officers involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the government.
"It is the responsibility of the MACC to conduct investigations into cases involving corruption and not aimed at overthrowing any party, including the government," said the MACC.
As an independent commission, the MACC said it conducted its investigations without fear or favour, regardless of who was involved.
"The MACC will not allow any party to influence or interfere in investigations.
"We urge the public not to draw speculations until we have completed our investigations."
Earlier in PUTRAJAYA, the MACC lodged a police report to deny allegations that it had leaked the draft of a charge sheet as published by the Sarawak Report portal.

The report, made by an MACC officer at the Putrajaya District Police Headquarters, here, denied the existence of the draft charge on the investigation into SRC International as published by the Sarawak Report in an article dated July 30 entitled Arrest warrant for the Prime Minister: the real reason the Attorney General was fired.
The officer also denied there was a leak of information or outcome of the MACC investigation to outsiders and that no one from the MACC was involved or had any intention to be involved in any conspiracy to topple the government.

On July 31, the MACC said the alleged draft of the charge sheet against the prime minister was unfounded because the investigation into SRC International was still ongoing and yet to be sent to the Attorney-General's Chambers.
