KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been asked to continue its probe into SRC International and the alleged RM2.6bil donation.
MACC’s Operations Review Panel (ORP) advised the commission on the issue during its meeting on Wednesday morning.
"The ORP has requested us to issue a public statement on these matters.
"The panel agreed that MACC resubmits its investigation papers regarding SRC International to the Attorney-General for review," the commission said in the statement.
SRC International was a subsidiary of 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) until it was taken over by the Finance Ministry in February 2012 via a non-cash dividend transaction of RM1mil.
The commission said that since its investigation into the alleged RM2.6bil donation case was still incomplete, the panel recommended that it continues its investigation.
"The commission will also seek the Attorney-General’s assistance to issue Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA), in order for MACC to obtain evidence and documents from financial institutions based overseas as part of its investigation into RM2.6bil," it said.
