ANN/THE STAR – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has frozen funds belonging to 30 Maple Sdn Bhd in its investigation into e-commerce platform FashionValet.

The company is also owned by Datin Vivy Yusof and Datuk Fadzaruddin Shah Anuar, the FashionValet founders.

MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said investigations into the MYR43.9million losses suffered by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Permodalan Nasional Bhd were ongoing.

“In addition to confiscating FashionValet’s account, we have also frozen 30 Maple’s account.

“The investigation is ongoing and will be completed within two weeks,” Sinar Harian reported Azam as saying during a press conference yesterday at an event in conjunction with MACC’s 57th anniversary celebrations.

He also said investigating officers have been told to speed up their probe in the FashionValet case.

“So far a total of 14 witnesses have had their statements recorded, with four more to be called.

“After that, everything is expected to be completed and (the papers) will be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor,” he said.
