MACC also said that Zahrah Abd Wahab Fenner, who retired last week, would be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow alongside her son Abdulazeez Wan Ruslan.
It said it would press charges against the duo after they got the go-ahead from the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
It is learnt that the duo will be charged, among others, with soliciting bribes and using their position for gratification.
They are also expected to charged under the Penal Code for abetment.
It is understood that the duo were at the MACC headquarters earlier today to help investigators complete their probe.
Zahrah, who is a chartered accountant, was appointed as the SSM CEO in 2015.
Before that, she was the deputy CEO (Services), a post she held since the establishment of SSM in 2002.
She was also previously with the foreign affairs ministry as the principal accountant from 1992 to 1995.
