It is learnt that officers from the commission conducted checks and seized about 1,600 files from the office at the district office building on Friday.
State MACC director Moh Samsudin Yusuf confirmed that the documents were retrieved from the office but refused to reveal details.
“I do not want to disclose information as it may jeopardise the investigation process,’’ he said.
According to a state government source, various documents related to the allocation of land to a total of 1,634 individuals in the Bukit Botak squatter settlement were obtained.
The list of people who allegedly obtained land via illegal means was also extracted from the land office.
The source said the commission would also investigate those instrumental in initiating the scheme.
Several government officials and politicians were being investigated, the source said.
The raid was conducted a day after Starprobe reported that at least two five-year-olds were among 81 youngsters allocated plots of land in the squatter settlement in Taman Selayang Mutiara, as far back as in the 1980s.
Selangor housing, building management and squatters committee chairman Iskandar Abdul Samad welcomed the commission’s action.
“We want this issue resolved as soon as possible,’’ he added.
The state government has also set up a special task force to investigate the matter.
Iskandar said the case was complicated as lots were given to ineligible individuals, children, outsiders and grassroots politicians who were not occupants of the land.
