KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Friday filed an application in court for a forfeiture order for movable assets located outside Malaysia under the name of Prince Turki Abdullah Al-Saud.
According to a source, the application was filed under Sections 56(1), 59 and 61(2) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA 2001).
The assets comprise US$115,320,661.63 held in Swiss bank accounts, including with J.P. Morgan (Suisse) SA and UBS Switzerland AG.
