KUALA LUMPUR: Vantris Energy Bhd, formerly known as Sapura Energy Bhd, has clarified that it is not the subject of any Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation and has not been notified of any allegations against the company, its current officers, or directors.
The company was responding to a recent statement by the MACC concerning the planned forfeiture of funds linked to the group, allegedly misused by an undisclosed party in 2018.
“We wish to assure our clients, partners, and stakeholders that our operations and financial activities, including access to our assets and bank accounts, remain unaffected,” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
Vantris Energy said it had fully cooperated with the MACC in the past and remained committed to providing any further assistance required by the authorities.
It added that the group has a strict anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy in place and has implemented internal controls and procedures to manage and mitigate such risks effectively.
“As a publicly listed company, we are dedicated to maintaining high standards of corporate governance, transparency, and integrity across all levels of the organisation,” it said.
On Tuesday, MACC announced that it would recover RM12 million believed to be linked to two cases involving Sapura Energy.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said during a press conference that, with the approval of the deputy public prosecutor, the commission had agreed to recover the money.
