According to the MACC, the two bank accounts were seized on April 11 after it submitted an order to the banks in accordance with Section 50 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 200 .
“Previously, these accounts were frozen on 12th & 13th January 2023 in accordance with Section 44 of the AMLATFPUAA Act 2001 to assist investigations into money suspected of being obtained from illegal proceeds,” said the Commission. “Consequently, the MACC implemented the seizure on 11th April 2023 in relation to the investigation and charges against Muhyiddin, the President of Bersatu under the MACC Act 2009 and AMLATFPUAA Act 2001,” it added in a statement on Thursday .
In March, Bersatu filed an application for a judicial review to challenge the MACC’s move to freeze the party’s bank accounts for investigation purposes. On March 13, Muhyiddin was charged with multiple counts of money laundering and graft as well as four counts of abuse of power involving RM232.5mil as well as two counts of money laundering involving RM195mil.
