MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki said Jovian's statement was needed to verify claims made by Ismail, who had declared his assets in February. 'We need to get his (Jovian's) cooperation. There are assets said to be linked to him, as stated by Ismail Sabri. We need confirmation,' Azam told a press conference at the MACC headquarters here today. 'He is in Indonesia, and he is an Indonesian. So we will have to meet him there. We are hoping to make the trip in a week or two to speed up matters.' Jovian was previously married to Ismail's daughter, Nina Sabrina, before their divorce in 2023. Azam said MACC has so far recorded statements from 57 individuals as part of the investigation.

Asked whether Ismail will be called in for further questioning, Azam said: 'It depends on our findings. He may or may not be called.' Ismail resumed giving his statement to MACC on April 24 as part of its second phase of questioning on his asset declaration. The most recent session was on May 7.

MACC to question Ismail Sabri's ex-son-in-law Jovian Mandagie in corruption probe
KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 — The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) will summon Datuk Jovian Mandagie, the former son-in-law of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, to assist in its investigation into a corruption case involving the former prime minister. Buletin TV3 said MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the entrepreneur, who has since returned to Indonesia, will be questioned by investigators. 'We have been informed that we will need to meet him there. We cannot compel him to return at this stage as he is now an Indonesian citizen and is residing there. 'So we'll need his cooperation. I expect this will take place within the next week or two. 'I've already instructed the investigating officer and the director to expedite the process,' he reportedly said during a press conference at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya today. Azam added that Jovian was among the names listed in the asset declaration submitted by the Bera MP on February 10. He also said Ismail Sabri will not be called in again for questioning, and the investigation is expected to be completed by the end of next month. The investigation papers will be finalised before being submitted to the Attorney General's Chambers if elements warranting prosecution are found. 'If there is sufficient evidence for prosecution, we will recommend that charges be brought against him. 'As of now, if the case file is complete and prosecutable elements are present, I will provide further updates,' he was quoted as saying. The former prime minister is being investigated for alleged corruption and money laundering involving the expenditure and use of funds for the promotion of the 'Keluarga Malaysia' campaign during his tenure from August 2021 to November 2022. The case is being investigated under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. On March 3, Azam revealed that Ismail Sabri was a suspect in the case, following the discovery of about RM170 million in various currencies and 16kg of gold bars at a property used as a 'safe house' during an MACC raid.
