‘RM20m cop’ under probe
Last updated on 24 February 2014 – 08:56am
KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 24, 2014): A senior police officer investigated with 59 others for corruption and money laundering in the last six months, had amassed RM20 million in several bank accounts.
A senior Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer who declined to be named, revealed to The Malaysian Insider, that the senior police officer could not account for the staggering amount in his possession.
…
Due to the probe, a senior police officer with a “Datuk” honorific was transferred to the Bukit Aman police secretariat.
The Datuk was questioned by the MACC which discovered more than RM6 million stashed away in various accounts.
However, the MACC official had told The Malaysian Insider then that the RM6 million was merely the tip of the iceberg.
As investigations intensified, MACC had also seized luxury vehicles, such as a Range Rover Evoque (worth RM400,000), Nissan Skyline (RM388,000), Toyota Vellfire (RM450,000), BMW 7-series (RM800,000) and Mercedes-Benz E-class (RM400,000) from the suspects.
Besides properties and luxury vehicles, police had also seized a substantial amount of money, jewellery and gold from some of the policemen.

At least 60 KL cops under probe in biggest anti-graft ops ever
A disgruntled policeman’s complaint to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) six months ago marked the beginning of an investigation that has resulted in some 60 policemen being probed for money-laundering and corruption.
The anti-graft operation, one of the largest in recent times, was a joint effort by MACC, Bank Negara, the Inland Revenue Department, National Registration Department, Immigration Department and Customs.
A senior MACC official told The Malaysian Insider that all the policemen were based in Kuala Lumpur and they were suspected of collecting bribes from operators of illegal businesses in the capital city.
The businesses ranged from illegal gaming cybercafes to massage parlours and vice dens, the official said.
Depending on the type of business, each operator contributed between RM10,000 and RM50,000 a month to the policemen to avoid being raided and hassled, he added.
The rogue policemen were also very organised with each tasked with collecting the monthly fee within a certain area.
“Once all the fees had been collected, the money will be distributed based on the policemen’s seniority and rank with the highest ranked getting the biggest share,” said the MACC official.

MACC clarification sought on ‘probe into 60 cops’ report
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said a letter will be sent to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to seek clarification on a report that MACC was investigating 60 police personnel allegedly involved in corruption and money-laundering.
He said he had yet to receive any report from the MACC with regard to the involvement of the police personnel, as reported by The Malaysian Insider.
“I’m not aware of such a report and I do not know where The Malaysian Insider obtained the information. We have not been informed by the MACC of any probe being carried out on our officers. I will be writing to the MACC to find out,” he told reporters after presenting the National Medals of Sovereignty in Kota Kinabalu today.
Khalid was commenting on The Malaysian Insider’s report yesterday, claiming a six-month probe by the MACC found one of the police officers had RM20 million in savings in various bank accounts.

Senior cop spills the beans on top brass to anti-graft body in exchange for immunity
BY LEE SHI-IAN
January 25, 2014
A senior police officer, one of 60 officers under probe for graft, is among several policemen brokering deals with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist in fingering more crooked cops in return for immunity from prosecution.
An MACC official familiar with the investigations told The Malaysian Insider that the senior police officer and several others were prepared to name several other senior police officers in return for their freedom.
“Investigations have been ongoing for several months now and investigators have discovered about 30 senior police officers who are living beyond their means,” the official said.
…
“In order to secure a successful conviction, the MACC is willing to strike deals with other policemen,” the official added.
Earlier this month, The Malaysian Insider reported that a disgruntled policeman’s complaint to the MACC marked the beginning of an investigation that has resulted in some 60 policemen being probed.
The anti-graft operation is a joint effort by the MACC, Bank Negara, the Inland Revenue Department, the National Registration Department, the Immigration Department and Customs.
The policemen are alleged to have collected bribes from operators of illegal businesses in the Federal capital.
The businesses ranged from illegal gaming cybercafes to massage parlours and vice dens, the official said.
