Top officer’s house raided for Najib documents: Report

(The Sun Daily) – Police have raided the house of an individual said to be connected to ousted prime minister Datuk Sri Najib Abdul Razak, according to a report by news portal Malaysia Decides.

It said the individual was the head of a powerful intelligence agency within the former Prime Minister’s Office.

She has gone on leave pending a probe that Najib handed her important documents two days before GE14, the report said today.

Police personnel from the Commercial Crime Division were said to have raided the house in Seri Kembangan on Friday and Saturday but could not recover the documents.

They believe that the documents have been stashed away in one of the safe houses operated by the innocently-named Research Department, the report added.

Police were also said to have sealed off the two buildings in Putrajaya and Jalan Bellamy from where the unit operated.

The intelligence unit was also known as Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation, it said.

Quoting unnamed government sources, Malaysia Decides said under the Najib administration, the unit had massive funding and was used to keep track of government critics in the country and abroad.

The top officer, backed by 300 personnel, reported only to Najib, it said.

“It basically operated as a spy agency, and all its activities were tailored at keeping the Najib in power,” the portal said, quoting an unnamed well-informed source.

“They even had operatives stationed abroad.”

Efforts are being made by theSun to get clarification from the police on this report.
