PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) presented a police report yesterday denying allegations of corrupt practices among its staff, according to an individual.
The commission said the individual, who was arrested by the MACC in October to investigate a scam in Macau and released days later, had made the allegations in a police report recently.
MACC said the content of the police report was shared on social media by certain parties, thus tarnishing the image of the commission.
“MACC is seriously considering allegations that this person was threatened by our officers. 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,” MACC said.
According to the contents of the police report seen 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 MACC, a man claiming to be a Datuk had threatened to hold him under preventive laws.
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 indictment of the businessman.
