In a statement today, the anti-graft agency sought to allay concerns that it had issued a statement on the RM2.6 billion channelled into the prime minister's accounts without the involvement of the police and Bank Negara Malaysia, which was the original composition of the task force headed by former Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail.
"The MACC did not make the announcement through the task force after the Attorney-General advised us that there was no need for a special task force.
"That the investigating agencies can continue their roles based on the relevant laws," the commission said.
It did not name which particular AG the advice came from, but Gani was replaced by Federal Court judge Tan Sri Apandi Ali last week. – August 5, 2015.
