“The public must stop speculating this case and allowing the police and time space to invest them carefully,” MacC chief Azam Baki said on Wednesday.
“You cannot blame us for its disappearance because the incident was out of our control and occurred on a public road, not in the MACC complex,” he told the New Straits Times.
In his last statement on Wednesday, Sangeet also said that MacC had submitted Ling to a systematic pressure campaign over several months, the New Straits Times reported.
She allegedly alleged that the MACC had pleaded Ling “without appropriate legal basis” and had imposed a ban on travel without explanation, in addition to putting pressure on him to resolve a private dispute with her distant husband rather than for legitimate investigations.
The MACC, also in a statement on Wednesday, rejected the allegations of harassment or fault against its officers, describing the claims as “without foundation”.
The anti-Greffe organization has also said that the request for a Judicial Review of Ling does not invalidate the investigation into it.
According to MacC, the investigation was initiated in Ling and her husband in May of last year for alleged offenses of corruption and money laundering, the husband called to make his declaration.
Hah is founder of Joint Group, which has interests in the local and international commercial scene.
The star reported that the HAH company, linked to a land agreement on a Sabah Kudat district island, had recently fell from a controversial agro-development development project.
To complete its probe, the anti-Greffe agency had found and summoned Ling to provide its declaration to the siege of the MACC, but it did not cooperate.
An arrest warrant was obtained on December 2 of last year from the Putrajaya court of first instance for the offense not to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of the investigation, FMT reported.
“Subsequently, on January 8, a joint operation with the Singapore corruption practices (CPIB) was launched (and) Ling was legally apprehended and brought back to Malaysia,” MacC said in its statement on Wednesday.
Ling was then plunged from January 9 to 11 before being released on bail.
Ling’s father told The Star that his daughter had lived alone in Kuala Lumpur since January after being forbidden to travel to help MacC surveys.
CNA contacted Singapore CPIB for comments. Borneo Post reported that Ling was residing in Singapore Since 2008 until January move. In Singapore, she headed a real estate management company.
According to MacC, he also obtained an assistant prosecutor's order to renounce his travel documents.
“At this stage, our shared priority should be to provide complete cooperation to the authorities so that the location and returnable return efforts of Ling can take place smoothly, safely and as quickly as possible,” said the anti-Greffe agency as FMT.
According to Ling lawyer Sivananthan, Ling and her husband suffered a controversial divorce in Singapore and Malaysia involving a substantial area, the mail mail reported.
Local media said on Thursday that no ransom request had been made.
This is not the first time that the MACC has been under control when making its probe.
In another large -scale case, former journalist Teoh Beng Hock died after being detained for questioning at night at the Selangor MacC office at the time in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.
The Royal Malaysia Commission of Inquiry concluded in 2011 that his death was a suicide but three years later, in September 2014, the court of appeal judged that the death of Teoh after a fall was caused by “an illegal act by unknown individuals”.
Teoh's family had filed a civil complaint in 2012, demanding compensation on sadness, loss of dependence and negligence by the MACC, according to the Malay Mail.
In 2015, the defendants of the case – 10 MACC officers, the MACC and the Malaysian government – settled the civil trial by agreeing to pay 600,000 RM of TEOH in damages and 60,000 RM in cost and admitted the negligence on their part, which led to the death of Teoh.
Teoh family members met Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on August 1 of last year, the Prime Minister announcing that the government agreed to reopen its investigation into Teoh's death.
