KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s sons Mirzan and Tan Sri Mokhzani have clarified that they are not being investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) concerning the Pandora Papers and the Panama Papers.
The brothers said their asset declaration to MACC is instead related to an ongoing investigation into Dr Mahathir.
"As stated by MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki in today's press conference, we are fully cooperating with MACC to ensure a positive resolution,” they said in a joint statement.
Azam had earlier confirmed that Mirzan and Mokhzani had declared their assets within the stipulated timeframe set by the anti-corruption body.
He said MACC is currently in contact with the brothers' lawyers to obtain additional information and clarifications regarding the asset declarations.
