In one of the raids conducted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) leading to the arrest of two Datuk Seri and a Datuk today, they found stash of money hidden all over the house including in the ceiling.
The bulk of the money, said to be some of the RM400,000 recovered, was packed carefully in RM50 and RM100 notes and hidden in the ceiling, as officers from the graft commission inspected the house.
Sources from the MACC told Malaysiakini the money was retrieved from a state Public Works Department director with the title of a 'Datuk'.
As for the luxury cars, the sources said that they were parked at the homes of the suspect's relatives. It was reported that the MACC seized a Maserati, BMW and Audi cars in the raid.
