KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — Interpol has requested additional information on the charges levelled against Datuk Seri Muhammad Adlan Berhan, who is the son-in-law of former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Azam Baki said his agency is preparing said documents, which will be passed to the police on Monday.
“The MACC can’t put in a request for the red notice, as it falls under the police’s jurisdiction. Interpol has requested some additional documents on the case, which we will give to the police on Monday.
“As for the details of Interpol’s request, I cannot say exactly, but it has to do with the draft of the charges and anything else related to this corruption case.
“We will be sending all the necessary documents as soon as possible to the police,” Azam told reporters at an MACC event with the media here.
Meanwhile, Azam also touched on the ongoing case of the former political secretary of former education minister Datuk Seri Radzi Jidin.
He said investigations were ongoing and MACC had amassed a lot of new evidence.
“I believe the investigating officers have collected a lot of new evidence related to the case and I will leave it up to them to decide whether they want to call him (Radzi) in for a statement. This is a new investigation, and therefore, it will require some time,” he added.
Yesterday, the police said they are still waiting for technical information from the MACC to complete the application for an Interpol red notice for Muhammad Adlan and lawyer Mansoor Saat.
Muhammad Adlan, 48, and Mansoor, 69, are sought by the anti-graft agency for questioning over alleged corruption and embezzlement in the registration, recruitment and biometric storage of foreign workers in a ministry.
A previous check with the Immigration Department found that the men left Malaysia on May 17 and May 21 respectively, and there was no record of them re-entering the country.
As for Radzi, he has denied any involvement in alleged RM80 million irregularities in the printing of Islamic studies books, J-Qaf.
The allegations came after two viral WhatsApp text messages linking the former education minister to irregularities in the awarding of school maintenance contracts and the printing of Islamic studies books.
Radzi served as a senior minister, holding the education portfolio under the Muhyiddin administration. He is the incumbent Putrajaya MP under Perikatan Nasional’s Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia.
