Police launch investigations into alleged RM350,000 bribe to senior anti-corruption officer
Authorities have opened two police investigations after social-media claims that a senior MACC official took a RM350,000 bribe in November 2017.
The Federal Criminal Investigation Department announced that two inquiry reports have been filed under Section 165 of the Penal Code. The allegations involve a senior officer of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission receiving the cash from an unnamed individual on 13 November 2017. Police say the claims have been circulating online in recent days, prompting the formal probes. Director Datuk M. Kumar confirmed the investigations are now underway.
Why it matters
