PETAL JAYA: Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) released a police report today denying allegations of corrupt practices among its staff, according to one individual.

The commission said the individual, who was arrested by the MACC in October to investigate a Macau scam syndicate and released days later, had made the allegations in a recent police report.

The MACC said the content of the police report was shared on social media by certain parties, thus tarnishing the image of the commission.

“Allegations that this individual was threatened by our officers are being seriously considered by the MACC. The commission will not protect either party if the claims are true.

“However, legal action must be taken against the individual if the accusation turns out to be false,” the MACC said.

According to the content of the police report spotted by Sun, the individual in question is a 32-year-old vaping shop businessman who filed a police report in Putrajaya on Sunday alleging that during his arrest by the MACC, he was threatened with being held in regime preventive. laws of a man who claimed to be a Datuk.

The businessman also claimed that, as an incentive, Datuk had demanded that the ownership of three vehicles and cash worth RM 20 million be transferred to him.

It was also alleged that Datuk demanded a partnership in the businessman’s furniture business.

The author alleged that he was told by a MACC officer to comply with Datuk’s demands because the man was close to senior MACC officers.

The businessman claimed that he agreed to transfer ownership of two of his vehicles to Datuk.

Other claims made by the businessman were large cash demands by MACC agents allegedly as a “bond” related to the seized vehicles.

It was learned that the police are investigating the complaints made by the businessman.
