A senior police officer has been called in by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in connection with a RM6mil money-laundering syndicate.<\/p>\n
The police officer, who is a Datuk, went to MACC headquarters in Putrajaya on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
MACC Investigations director Datuk Mustafar Ali said the police officer has been called in to have his statement recorded to facilitate investigations into the syndicate.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is merely having his statement recorded. He is not detained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Datuk gave his full cooperation on the matter,\u201d he said when contacted Thursday.<\/p>\n
It is learnt that the MACC would be calling in more police personnel to assist investigations.<\/p>\n
The Datuk is the latest to be hauled in connection with the case after three policemen were detained on Nov 25.<\/p>\n
It was reported that three police personnel were detained in connection with laundering more than RM6mil worth of \u201cdirty money\u201d last month.<\/p>\n
The policemen – a Deputy Supt (DSP), an Asst Supt (ASP) and a sergeant – were detained separately between 6pm and 11pm on Nov 25.<\/p>\n
MACC personnel raided the homes of the suspects and seized more than RM500,000 cash, three Rolex watches and other pieces of jewellery.<\/p>\n
Two of the policemen work in Johor while the other is attached to the Seremban police.<\/p>\n
Initial investigations revealed that one of the suspects was involved in laundering RM1.7mil in illegal cash while another was doing the same activity amounting to RM4.3mil.<\/p>\n
The case is being investigated under Section 4(1)(a) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 and the MACC Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
