Kuala Lumpur - Arabstoday

Documents under investigation show that around $90 million may have been laundered from logging companies in Sabah to UBS bank accounts linked to high-ranking Malaysian officials, according to the Sarawak Report. Critics of the government say the money is likely kickbacks from logging companies to government officials for the right to log in the state's declining rainforests. Such transactions are alleged to occur typically in the run up to elections. The bank accounts in question have been linked to two associates of Sabah's Chief Minister Musa Aman. According to the Sarawak Report the money was to be held "on trust" for Musa Aman, Sabah's head of state, by timber trader Michael Chia and lawyer Richard Christopher Barnes. To date, Aman has denied the allegations. But an investigation into the alleged money laundering is currently being conducted by Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). In addition, Switzerland's Attorney General recently noted that they have provided legal aid to the investigation. The indigenous-rights NGO, the Bruno Manser Fonds, has called on the ICAC to release more details about the investigation. The group also condemns UBS for its role in the alleged money laundering and says "[we are] currently examining if the bank’s conduct includes legal offenses under Swiss law." The rainforests of Sabah contain rich biodiversity, including a number of imperiled species such as the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi), listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List; proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), Endangered; Bornean elephants (Elephas maximus borneensis), Endangered; Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), Critically Endangered; and Sumatran rhinos (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), Critically Endangered.
