KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has completed its investigation of the political secretary of Agriculture and Agro-based Minister Datuk Salahuddin Ayub over the possession of a luxury watch worth RM28,000.
MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya said the investigation papers were sent to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) on July 10.
“The MACC has completed its investigation and sent the papers for further action to the Attorney General's Chambers on July 10 and we are awaiting feedback,” she said in statement today.
On April 1, the political secretary was arrested for allegedly receiving a luxury watch as a gift from a developer in return for his assistance in securing contracts from the ministry for the developer.
The following day, a remand order was obtained to detain him for four days to assist investigations.
Salahuddin had said in a statement on April 1 that he will not interfere in the MACC investigation and would let the law takes its course.
