Businessperson Victor Chin - who is accused of being an alleged member of the so-called "corporate mafia" - has questioned why authorities raided his home last week.
In a statement today, Chin (above) said he had been cooperating with police in investigations since December, and had even been remanded for three days as part of a probe into the “corporate mafia” and alleged money laundering.
"I have fully cooperated with the authorities. I have already given my statement to the anti-money laundering investigators, clearly explaining my role and my position in this matter, which the police should be aware of.
"(Police) know my whereabouts and have the means to get in touch with me at any time.
"So why is there a need to raid my house?" he asked.
Last Friday, the police and the Securities Commission (SC) raided Chin’s properties at Sungai Long and Kemensah, Selangor.
Starbiz reported that items seized include two cars, luxury watches, jewellery, cash in ringgit and foreign currencies, as well as documents.
The report, citing sources, said Chin and his wife were not present during the raids, but three of his aides were.
The raids came days after the cabinet instructed police, SC, Inland Revenue Board (IRB) and MACC to investigate the “corporate mafia” allegations.
Evidence to be submitted
Last month, Bloomberg named Chin as part of a network of businesspeople who allegedly colluded with the MACC to stage corporate takeovers of rivals.
Chin has denied the claims.
The investor has also supported calls for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to investigate the matter and look into the MACC's alleged involvement.
In his statement today, the businessperson said he will be submitting all evidence and supporting documents proving that he is not involved in the “corporate mafia” to his lawyers soon. - Mkini
