PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has frozen 41 bank accounts belonging to Aman Palestin and several other companies in its investigation into the alleged misappropriation of RM70 million by the NGO.

MACC said the 41 bank accounts had a combined total of RM15.8 million.

It said Aman Palestin’s premises were raided by MACC to obtain documents on its financials and operations for the past five years.

“MACC has also recorded the statements of several key witnesses, and preliminary investigations have identified several issues involving the misappropriation of RM70 million which were channelled for purposes not related to the organisation’s objectives,” it said.
