Kuala Lumpur police freeze five accounts linked to Mandiri Development Centre probe

Kuala Lumpur police have immobilised five bank accounts associated with the Mandiri Development Centre Sdn Bhd inquiry, though the total value remains undisclosed. Datuk Fazlisyam Abdul Majid, chief of the Bukit Aman Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Unit, said the operation is ongoing and additional suspects will be called to give statements. The case, opened on September 10 after a tip about suspected illicit proceeds from 2024-2026, is being pursued under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.

Previously, Mandiri’s executive director Amir Hariri Abdul Hadi and finance director Dobby Chew were detained for three days to assist the investigation before being released late Thursday. Police have not disclosed how many statements have been recorded so far.
