MACC to call up Anwar over Pandora Papers

The MACC will summon Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to record his statement over the Pandora Papers.

Anwar (above) had been pushing Parliament to debate the Pandora Papers but have been stonewalled by Dewan Rakyat speaker Azhar Azizan Harun. 

MACC chief Azam Baki was quoted by Sinar Harian as saying that he had instructed his men to get a statement from Anwar.

"Give us some time, we will make an appointment with Anwar," he had said.

Azam added that whether there will be an investigation paper will depend on discussions with Bank Negara Malaysia and other related agencies.

The Pandora Papers had leaked documents belonging to financial service firms that facilitate the wealthy in setting up and managing offshore entities.

The documents were released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

It is not illegal to own an offshore entity but they can potentially be abused to conceal wealth abroad or used for tax evasion.

Among the high profile individuals named in the Pandora Papers were Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz, former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PKR's Selayang MP William Leong.

They have all denied wrongdoing and maintained the entities were used for legitimate purposes. - Mkini
