The RM6 million was reportedly given as a kickback to allow a company owner to obtain a tender to build a racetrack, and another project to operate and maintain five water reservoir plants in the state.
On Monday, Sanusi claimed he was MACC’s real target in its probe, alleging that the others who had been detained were merely “accessories” as “they” really wanted to link him to the corruption cases.
However, he did not specify who “they” were.
