MELBOURNE: Australian federal police officers seized computers and files from a house in Vermont South on Thursday as part of investigations into the purchases of properties by Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara).
It is learnt that several other properties in and around Melbourne were also targetted in the investigations.
The investigations - Opeation Carambola - were in response to a scheme using multi-million dollar properties to launder funds and kickbacks.
Mara Inc's top officials, including chairman Datuk Mohammad Lan Allani, were named in a report by an Australian Daily over bribery allegations in relation to the property deals.
An online portal said that while corruption links to property purchases in Australia by foreign nationals have generated significant political interest, this is the first time that police have launched a full-blown operation.
It was reported that fraud was detected in the inflated the price of Dudley House in Melbourne.
Mara chairman Tan Sri Annuar Musa said allegations of the inflated price were outside the knowledge of Mara.
He said the purchase was made before his appointment but he "found a few things" last year during a site visit and raised the matter at Mara's council.
The Dudley House apartment block in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield was bought by Mara in 2013.
A report said the investigations cover about A$80mil worth of Australian property, including office or apartment blocks in Swanston, Queen and Exhibition streets in Melbourne's CBD.
It said the alleged criminal scheme was uncovered by tracing the purchase of tens of millions of dollars of Australian properties via tax-haven shelf companies in the British Virgin Islands and Singapore.
It said property records and confidential emails revealed that A$4.75mil bribe was asked in return for guaranteeing that funds would be available to purchase the building.
The bribe was paid via sham invoices for non-existent services, including "professional advice" and "consultancy fees," the report said.

Mara Inc’s top brass named in suspect property deal
PETALING JAYA: Mara Inc’s top officials, including chairman Datuk Mohammad Lan Allani, were named in a report by an Australian daily about alleged corruption in relation to a property deal in Melbourne.
Also named in the reports were Mara Inc’s chief executive officer Datuk Halim Rahman and two Malaysian businessmen – Datuk Yusof Gani and Datuk Ahmad Azizi.
The daily’s report linked the men to a deal whereby Mara allegedly overpaid developers of Dudley International House, Australia by A$4.75mil (RM13.8mil) for the five-storey apartment block in the city in 2013.
The report claimed that Mara had paid A$22.5mil (RM65mil) when the asking price was A$17.8mil (RM51.4mil).
Mohammad Lan, who was contacted by the daily, reportedly said he “couldn’t recall” the Dudley House dealings although he admitted to being in Melbourne to inspect the property in May last year.
The former Sulabayan assemblyman also told The Age that he was involved in setting up offshore companies in tax havens as a “convenient” way of selling property bought by the Malaysian Government. But when the daily asked if he knew of any alleged kickbacks, Mohammad Lan ended the call.
-kelas kau dek
The daily also alleged that Mara officials had also used other shelf companies in Singapore to buy properties in Queens Street and Exhibition Street in Melbourne’s Central Business District for around A$40mil (RM116.55mil).
An effort to meet Mohammad Lan proved futile as he was not at home when The Star visited his Kota Kemuning house yesterday.
Not a soul was seen inside or in the house’s compound, with curtains covering the mansion’s windows.
Six cars were parked inside the compound but no one answered the doorbell.
A neighbour who wished to remain anonymous said he did not know where the Mara Inc chairman was, and declined to say more.
A worker who did not give his name said the house owner was probably in another part of the country.
“I don’t think he’s around. The whole house is empty except for the servants and the -driver. The family is not around.
“Maybe he went back to Sabah,” he said.
Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said it would start its probe into alleged corrupt practices in the deal.
“We will call them (Mara) to appear before the committee. I was informed that the matter is already under investigation by the Australian police and they have found a money trail,” said PAC chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed when contacted yesterday.
He said the PAC probe would be independent of that carried out by the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s investigations.
