The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has launched an investigation into the McDan Group over suspicions of money laundering, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The Executive Chairman of the McDan Group, Daniel McKorley, has confirmed receipt of the FIC notice and told Joy News he has instructed his accountants and lawyers to respond to the inquiry. The Group also intends to issue a statement on the matter by Friday.

As part of the ongoing probe, the FIC has officially requested key documents and information from the company to support its assessment of financial transactions linked to the business conglomerate.

The investigation is still in its early stages, with authorities aiming to determine whether any funds managed by the McDan Group were involved in illicit financial activity.
