The ACC plea alleges that movable assets have been acquired in the names of the accused. It further states that there is a possibility they may transfer or change ownership of the said assets and flee abroad to evade legal action.
"To prevent the misappropriated funds from being transferred, concealed, or embezzled while the investigation is ongoing, freezing the relevant bank accounts is essential," the petition added.
