KUALA LUMPUR (June 28): Following a report made by Umno supreme council member Datuk Lokman Adam against Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said it did not find any suspicious transaction or offshore account during its investigation into the allegations.

The investigation followed Lokman's recent report that alleged there was a suspicious transaction between a certain construction company and a certain minister's private bank account, referring to Azmin.

Lokman also alleged that there is an offshore account which was set up in 2012 with Azmin as its ultimate beneficiary.

"MACC has conducted an investigation and found that there is no such transaction as alleged and no such account," said the commission in a statement.

Meanwhile, it said the commission is also investigating claims against the minister following the publishing of a report entitled "Here is the proof Azmin Ali is toyol of Selangor". MACC added that it had received a report relating to the allegations which was received in August last year.

"The investigation was conducted with the cooperation of Bank Negara Malaysia, along with other financial institutions and found that the allegations brought up were false," it said.
