PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested Baling MP and Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, and his brother Latiff.
Sources said the duo will be investigated for money-laundering on Wednesday (Sept 26).
On May 23, the MACC raided Abdul Azeez's homes and offices and seized RM500,000 in cash, 20 watches and several pieces of jewellery.
The former Tabung Haji chairman claimed that part of the money was from his Umno allocation while some foreign currencies were from Kelab Putera 1Malaysia (KP1M).
