Police record 127 statements in ongoing Tabung Haji probe

Kuala Lumpur: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), through its Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID), has opened five investigation papers into cases involving Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), including matters raised in the Tabung Haji Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report.

CCID director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said 127 people had so far had their statements recorded to assist the investigations.

“Several more people will be called to have their statements recorded, including witnesses from overseas,” he said in a statement on Friday.

He said the investigations were being conducted under several laws, including the Penal Code, Tabung Haji Act 1995, Companies Act 1965 and Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA).

Rusdi said PDRM remained committed to ensuring that all investigations were conducted independently, transparently and professionally in accordance with the law.

“Any party found to be involved in any criminal conduct will be subject to appropriate action under the applicable laws,” he said.

Meanwhile, PDRM urged the public not to speculate or disseminate unverified information regarding the ongoing investigations.

PDRM also advised the public to obtain information on developments in the investigations only through official channels to avoid confusion and prevent any disruption to the investigation process.
