KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) recovered more than RM100 million in cash during a raid on a home belonging to an aide of former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The money, a source familiar with the matter told the New Straits Times, was found stashed in 'multiple bags and safes' in several rooms.

Graft busters also confiscated documents, jewellery, and electronic devices during the raid.

The raid, conducted by MACC's special investigation team, is part of an ongoing probe into allegations of abuse of power and money laundering by the former prime minister's ex-staff.

According to the source, the raid on the former aide's residence was carried out following months of surveillance.

Investigators are now looking into the source of the money, including possible links to political funds.
