## MACC records Isa Samad statement
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is recording former Felda chairman Datuk Isa Samad's statement at Sungai Buloh Prison as part of investigations into Felda and its subsidiary Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd.
## Statement recording ongoing
MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman said investigators began recording Isa's statement on September 17 and continued yesterday, expecting completion by Thursday.
## Seven cases under probe
The statement is being recorded as MACC intensifies investigations into seven cases involving asset purchases by Felda and FIC between 2010 and 2020.
## Six new files opened
Six new investigation papers were opened on August 24, while another earlier investigation has been revived, according to MACC.
## 34 witnesses interviewed
So far, 34 witnesses, including former board members and government officials, have been interviewed as part of inquiries into alleged corruption and power abuse.
## Two detained earlier
Two people, a former Felda director-general and former FIC chief executive officer, were also detained earlier this month and released on MACC bail.
## Corruption allegations
Investigators are examining suspected elements of corruption, misappropriation and abuse of power involving asset purchases allegedly made above their valuation.
## Six-year sentence
Isa is currently serving a six-year prison sentence after the Federal Court reinstated his corruption conviction in February over RM3.09 million in bribes linked to FIC's purchase of the Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites in Kuching for RM160 million.
## Key takeaway

MACC intensifies Felda corruption probe by recording Isa Samad's statement at Sungai Buloh Prison amid six new investigation files.
