Rafizi Submits Additional Documents And Video Recordings To MACC In RM1.1 Billion Investment Probe
PUTRAJAYA: Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (MACC) has confirmed receiving additional documents and video recordings from Rafizi Ramli as part of investigations into alleged abuse of power and misconduct involving a RM1.1 billion investment agreement.
MACC senior investigations director Mohd Hafaz Nazar said Rafizi arrived at the commission’s headquarters in Putrajaya this morning accompanied by five lawyers to voluntarily submit materials linked to the investigation.
According to him, the submitted materials included printed documents as well as video recordings stored on a USB flash drive believed to be connected to Arm Holdings.
“His presence today was to hand over several additional printed documents together with video recordings contained in a USB storage device believed to be related to ARM Limited UK.
“The submission was made voluntarily in order to assist the ongoing investigation involving him,” he said in a statement today.
He added that MACC officers also recorded an additional statement from the Pandan Member of Parliament, with the session concluding at approximately 1.30pm.
Earlier, Rafizi reportedly spent more than two hours at the MACC headquarters completing the statement recording process and handing over further evidence related to the case.
Sources said the newly submitted materials included a 28-page document together with several video recordings believed to be directly connected to the investment investigation.
Today marked the fifth occasion Rafizi has appeared before the MACC to provide statements regarding the probe involving the United Kingdom-based semiconductor company.
Previously, Rafizi reportedly stated that the investigation was mainly focused on procedures and decision-making processes surrounding the investment agreement rather than direct allegations of corruption.
He also said the investment decision involved joint discussions among several ministries including the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Finance.
The MACC had earlier confirmed that 22 individuals had been called in to assist investigations being conducted under Section 23 of the MACC Act 2009.
The case has attracted significant public attention due to the scale of the investment as well as concerns involving transparency, governance and integrity in the management of government investment decisions.
Political observers believe the latest developments in the investigation will continue drawing attention as the case involves a senior government political figure and an international technology company with major significance in the global semiconductor industry.
