The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is still investigating into businessman Vinod Sekhar’ s case which allegedly involves billions of dollars, MalaysiaNow reported.

Anti-graft chief Azam Baki was quoted by the news portal today saying ‘the case is still under investigation and MACC will call several individuals to assist with the probe and the questioning.’

“Those who are called will depend on the witnesses we spoke to before this,” he said in a press conference at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.

MalaysiaNow has previously reported that several officers from the National Financial Crime Centre and MACC, as well as from Bank Negara Malaysia and the Inland Revenue Board

had raided some offices linked to Vinod while investigating into alleged mega money laundering cases.

MalaysiaNow reported, a source close to the investigations told the news portal that the raid in Bangsar followed months of investigations into alleged money laundering and tax evasion involving hundreds of millions of ringgit, adding that officers had seized “some documents and items” as part of the probe.

Reports said that Vinod through GR Technologies has secured multi-millions business contracts to supply covid-19 ventilators to the Hungarian government.

Documents spread on the net by hungarian journalists showed Hungarian Minister signed contracts worth US$559,600,000 (RM2.43 billion) with Vinod in May 2020, through several bank accounts.

Hungary’s opposition politicians claimed that the ventilators bought by Hungary government were overpriced, and questioned why the purchases were made through the foreign affairs ministry.

Vinod confirmed getting the contract but insisted that he had received a “normal percentage” in commission, according to the news portal.
