Aman Palestin Berhad, a non-governmental organization (NGO), has filed a judicial review challenging the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)’s freezing of 41 bank accounts amounting to RM15,868,762 of Aman Palestin Berhad and other companies associated with it.
Lawyer Mohamad Rafiq, representing Palestine Peace, said a judicial review had been filed against the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Malaysian government.
“Currently, we have sent two letters to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on November 27, 2023 and January 9, 2024, requesting the ACC to consider unfreezing the company’s bank accounts so that financial assistance can be provided to Palestine,” he said.
“The Anti-Corruption Commission has not responded. （The (Palestinian) humanitarian crisis is worsening, with hundreds of people dying every day.”
Mohammed Rafiq said in his message yesterday that the company must continue to give humanitarian aid to Palestine, and that it was no stranger to humanitarian aid in Gaza and Palestine, as well as in nearby areas of Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.
“The Palestine Peace Company wants justice to get the truth and clear the air of slander and false accusations.”
According to the report, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating Palestine Peace Company, how it used the public donations it raised and its gold investment program, including whether there were any suspicions of misuse.
A preliminary investigation into Palestine Peace also found that an estimated RM70 million had been used for purposes other than those for which it was set up, the ACA had said in a statement.
The investigation was conducted under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Act 2001 and the Penal Code (Act 574).
