KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has freed an ex-political secretary on a RM50,000 bail four days after his arrest on Feb 12 for having RM2 million in cash.
The MACC said it seized a vehicle and an unspecified amount of cash during the arrest.
Last Monday, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said in a statement his political secretary Hasbie Satar had resigned.
The minister did not say why Hasbie resigned but MACC sources said it was related to the arrest.
The aide was arrested under suspicion of committing acts which fall under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001. The MACC has reportedly frozen several of his assets and bank accounts in order to facilitate their investigation.
