PETALING JAYA: 

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today searched several premises around the Klang Valley, including the home of Fashion Valet Sdn Bhd founders Vivy Yusof and Fadzarudin Anuar.

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said his officers had accompanied the duo to their home and other related premises as part of its probe into the business.

“My officers are searching the premises owned by the couple to collect documents and other relevant materials, so the investigation is still ongoing,” he said.

He added that the search was also aimed at gathering more information on the assets owned by the couple.

On Sunday, it was reported that MACC had launched an investigation into the RM43.9 million investment loss suffered by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) in e-commerce platform Fashion Valet.

The couple was summoned by MACC to provide their statement at its headquarters in Putrajaya for about three hours this afternoon, after having been quizzed by the anti-graft agency for over seven hours yesterday.

Vivy and Fadzarudin are among six individuals whose statements were recorded following raids conducted by investigators at four locations, including the finance ministry, two days ago.

Azam said three other individuals have had their statements recorded to assist in the investigation, but did not specify if these individuals were associated with Fashion Valet, Khazanah, or PNB.

“With the statements from these three individuals, we have now recorded a total of nine statements altogether,” he said. - FMT
