00:00I want to give a little information about the case of MBI

00:08because there is a misunderstanding about how many people were arrested

00:13The total number of people arrested so far is 4 people

00:17So all 3 men and 1 woman

00:22And the one who was arrested, who is now in remand

00:28is someone who was arrested on the 10th of this month

00:34and remanded until the 15th of this month

00:37Okay, this is related to a company manager or a businessman

00:42There is a person who has worked at MBI

00:47and he is a man, about 14 years old

00:51But we were only able to get hold of him for one night

00:55because of a contact issue

00:59The third one is a woman, 43 years old

01:05He was also in remand for 3 days

01:09after he was released

01:11And another woman

01:14This is related to a company manager

01:19who was in remand for 3 days

01:24He was also in remand for 3 days

01:29That is in the future

01:31Regarding that, we have a report

01:36I have made a report on Singapore dollar

01:431.529 million

01:48If Malaysia recreates, it will be around 5 million

01:51in the so-called safe house

01:54There was a question, I was asked if there are other places

01:58Apparently there are, but I can't reveal it

02:02My friend has said that there are additional 2 safe houses

02:07that are said to have women

02:11So, we can say that

02:15one of them has found

02:20around 7.4 million dollars

02:277.4 million dollars

02:29So, we have around 2.3 million dollars

02:32Then, in an office, we have around 7.8 million dollars

02:41And we also received information

02:46that there is money that has been invested in Singapore

02:51I can't reveal the amount, who owns it

02:55And I think there will be more investments in Singapore

03:00We are still investigating this

03:04and we are also investigating the storage of this money

03:09And maybe there is a storage in other banks

03:15We are investigating this

03:18Is there anything related to politics?

03:21Yes, one of them

03:23I can't reveal the name of the reporter

03:29Will he be called?

03:31Yes, he will be called at a time that is appropriate

03:34According to my investigation

03:36As usual, we need to get all the evidence that we think is legitimate

03:45that we need

03:49And once it has been verified, then the person in charge will be called

03:53I will not deny that he will be called

03:57But after we or my investigators are satisfied

04:01with a few more documents and the money that was used

04:07Sir, do you think there is any evidence that he will be called?

04:11Of course, now at least 15 witnesses have been called

04:16And as far as I know, I don't know how many

04:20But there will be many more witnesses who will be called

04:23to investigate

04:24And in this case, we will also open the investigative documents

04:29which are under the Charter of Transformation of Foreign Currency

04:32under the Charter of Corruption in 2009 under Section 16

04:35We will also open several investigative documents

04:38under the Charter of Transformation of Foreign Currency

04:40under the Charter of Corruption in 2001

04:42Is he in the government?

04:45Yes, he is in Kuala Lumpur, in the city of Telangor, and so on

04:51Sir, this anti-politic suspect, is he in the government?

04:55Or is he not active right now?

04:57Oh, that's a tough question

05:01But let me rest my chest first

05:04Later on, I will tell you when the time is appropriate

05:08When is the election?

05:10The first election was held on Sunday

05:16It was held on Saturday night

05:20What is the relationship between the politicians and the suspect?

05:24Of course, the suspect is involved in corruption

05:29If it's not corruption, it's not your job

05:32How many politicians are involved in corruption?

05:35I don't want to comment on that at this time

05:39Sir, the election was held on Saturday night, right?

05:43Yes, it was held on Saturday night

05:46Yes, it was held one by one

05:48Usually, the suspects are not well-informed

05:51So, after we conducted the investigation,

05:53we got the confirmation, and so on

05:55Then, we tried to investigate one by one

05:57Sir, how old was the leader?

06:01Yes, the leader

06:03The leader was 43 years old
