PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has frozen domestic and foreign assets worth approximately US$10 million belonging to the former chief executive officer (CEO) of a satellite television company following the recent disclosure of a house gifted to her in London at the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) trial in the United States.

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the Commission would continue its efforts to recover and help return the related monies lost through 1MDB to the country.

"Right now, I cannot share any other names involved. What's next is to get the cooperation from the Attorney-General's Chambers for us to get any related statements from the parties in the US," he told a press conference at the MACC headquarters here today.

Azam said the MACC would call the ex-media CEO again to give her statement should there be any new development.

"We will also call other individuals if necessary," he said.

On Feb 24, the woman was reported to have spent about nine hours at the MACC headquarters to give her statement to the Commission to assist in the investigation under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLA) 2001.

She was called again for another three-hour statement-taking process yesterday.

On Feb 22, a house in London and the name of former Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd CEO, Datuk Rohana Rozhan, were among those mentioned by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc bank officer, Tim Leissner in the 1MDB trial in the US.

Leissner had pleaded guilty in 2018 for being involved in violating United States anti-corruption laws and money laundering conspiracy.
