MACC Intensifies Probe into International Law Firm Over 1MDB-Linked Transactions

KUALA LUMPUR, 18 December 2025 – The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is ramping up its probe into an international law firm suspected of facilitating transactions involving illicit proceeds from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Sources reveal the firm allegedly aided in diverting about US$1 billion, including US$700 million to an offshore entity outside 1MDB’s control.

In a parallel development, MACC is gathering more details on former 1MDB executive director Tang Keng Chee, known as Casey Tang, believed linked to misappropriated funds.

The investigations stem from international intelligence-sharing on cross-border flows and professional enablers in 1MDB dealings. MACC is also targeting other individuals to bolster national asset recovery efforts.
