(July 8): Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar is keeping a tight lid on details of the six bank accounts which have been frozen as part of a special task force's probe into the alleged transfer of billions of ringgit into Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's personal accounts.

Khalid said the matter was under investigation and it would be criminal of him to reveal any information on the bank accounts, three of which were said to belong to Najib.

"I am not commenting on that. Under the MACC (Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission) Act, it is a crime if one discloses any details of an ongoing investigation," he said today when reporters asked if the three accounts frozen belonged to Najib.

Sources yesterday confirmed with The Malaysian Insider that three of the six frozen accounts were Najib's, while a fourth belonged to SRC International Sdn Bhd and another to Ihsan Perdana Sdn Bhd.

Both companies were allegedly involved in the funnelling of US$11.1 million (RM42 million) into Najib's accounts at AmBank in Kuala Lumpur between December 2014 and February this year.

The special task force, headed by Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, yesterday announced the move to freeze the six accounts as well as seizure of documents of 17 accounts at two banks in connection with the probe.

Khalid said he would not commit a crime by discussing or revealing information.

He added that the probe was being conducted under the Financial Services Act 2013 and Computer Crimes Act 1997. - The Malaysian Insider
