The MACC said it has commenced an investigation into the alleged altering of the auditor-general's report on 1MDB.
"The MACC has initiated an investigation in relation to allegations that the auditor-general's report on 1MDB was tampered with," said the MACC in a statement today.
This was after auditor-general Madinah Mohamad confirmed that the then prime minister Najib Abdul Razak summoned her predecessor Ambrin Buang on Feb 22, 2016, and instructed certain parts of the report to be expunged.
She added that Najib's private secretary Shukry Mohd Salleh had also instructed the mentions of businessperson Low Taek Jho, a central figure in the 1MDB scandal, to be removed.
The MACC said it has reviewed both versions of the auditor-general's report.
"The MACC has scrutinised the original report document and compared to the final draft which was issued by the auditor-general's report.
"MACC will summon a few witnesses soon for their statement and to facilitate investigations in the matter," it said. - Mkini
