There were three companies that allegedly bribed Ahmad Zahid Hamidi when he was deputy prime minister which did not appear to have proper business activities, the Kuala Lumpur High Court was told today.
However, MACC investigating officer Mohd Zamri Abdul Rashid said the accounts of these companies were "excessively active", where large amounts of money passed.
The three companies in question are Mastoro Kenny IT Consultant & Services (Mastoro Kenny), Jogabonito Jewellery & Diamonds (Jogabonito) and Berani & Jujur Trading (Berani & Jujur).
Mohd Zamri said this when re-examined by deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi in the criminal breach of trust, corruption and money laundering trial against Zahid.
"Berani & Jujur does not have staff and its business address was a condominium unit. Based on our financial analysis, the accounts were too active. It involved large sums.
"Company records show that the company was involved in agriculture. But based on witness statements, the company is also involved in textile. My investigation showed no evidence of textile trading. When we raided their premises, we didn't see business activities.
"It's the same for Mastoro Kennny and Jogabonito. It is registered to the same address. There were no business activities," testified Mohd Zamri.
Zahid is facing 12 charges for criminal breach of trust, eight charges for corruption and 27 charges for money laundering.
He is accused of receiving RM13.25 million from Mastoro Kenny between 2017 and 2018 as an inducement to help the company secure projects involving the home ministry.
