ACA Records Nallakaruppan's Statement

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) president Datuk S. Nalakaruppan gave his statement to the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) Friday to assist investigation into his allegation that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had received RM60 million from Magnum Corp when he was the finance minister.
ACA Director of Investigations Datuk Shukri Abdul, when contacted, confirmed that the former right-hand man of the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor was called up to give statements on his allegation, but declined to comment further.
"The ACA began recording Nallakaruppan's statement since 3pm Friday. However, our officers did not record his statement at the ACA Headquarters in Putrajaya.
"The location cannot be disclosed to the media but I can confirm that the ACA is now recording his statement," Shukri said, here.
Nallakaruppan, 61, in his ceramah in Permatang Pauh on Aug 23 had claimed that he had handed RM60 million from a gaming company to Anwar in 1998 for an undisclosed purpose.
He claimed that he had handed over the money personally to Anwar and that the PKR advisor had approved many gambling licences and four-digit lottery shops when he was the finance minister and deputy prime minister.
