PUTRAJAYA – The former group chief financial officer (CFO) of a company owned by a statutory body arrived at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters here to have her statement recorded over the purchase of shares in two plantation companies worth RM370 million.

The woman turned up to assist investigations linked to the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report on Tabung Haji.

She arrived at the MACC office in a black sport utility vehicle (SUV) at 11.40am.

So far, three individuals have been called in to assist in the investigation, including two who were detained yesterday.

The arrests followed investigations by a special task force set up to review and scrutinise the findings of the Tabung Haji RCI report, which was made public through the official portal of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia on July 29.
