PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has frozen several personal and company bank accounts, valued at around RM1.1 million, belonging to Fashion Valet Sdn Bhd founders Vivy Yusof and Fadzarudin Anuar. Sources said the move to freeze the accounts is just part of the process in MACC’s investigation into the couple over the RM43.9 million in investment losses incurred by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Bernama reported. On Monday, MACC visited Fashion Valet’s office, the finance ministry, Khazanah and PNB, to obtain financial documents to aid in its probe. “Since the investigation began, MACC has frozen approximately 11 personal accounts and six company accounts under the couple’s management, amounting to around RM1.1 million, to assist in the investigation. “Additionally, MACC has recorded statements from several key individuals, including senior officials from Khazanah, PNB, Fashion Valet, accountants and company valuers,” a source said. The commission also searched the couple’s residence in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur today. The couple was said to have arrived at the MACC office at around 1pm to continue giving their statements before being taken to their residence at 5.30pm for the search. The sources said the search was conducted by 12 MACC officers, in the presence of the couple’s lawyer. “The search concluded around 8pm, with the seizure of items, including 11 handbags and a luxury watch, worth an estimated total of RM200,000,” the source said. MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki confirmed the freezing of the accounts and search, and said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009 for making false claims. He said the couple will return to the MACC office at 10am tomorrow to continue providing their statements. News
