The MACC may soon summon former deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to facilitate investigation into questionable land swap deals involving the Defence Ministry.
"I do not discount the possibility. Anyone who is involved will be called," MACC Deputy Chief Commissioner (Operations) Azam Baki told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today when asked if the former defence minister will be summoned.
Zahid served as defence minister from 2009 to 2013.
Earlier, Azam said the MACC had been investigating the matter for a few months based on two reports lodged by the Defence Ministry.
He added the MACC is also looking at the audit report on 16 land swaps involving the defence ministry, which were allegedly lopsided and cost the government RM500 million.
