IGP: Cops may question Zeti, MACC’s Mohd Shukri

(The Star) – More officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Attorney-General’s Chambers will be called up by the police to have their statements recorded, said Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pix).

When contacted Monday, the Inspector-General of Police did not rule out that BNM governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz and MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull could be quizzed.

Police earlier questioned MACC officials – two division directors and a senior officer – over the alleged leak of documents related to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) investigations.

Criminal Investigation Division officers from Bukit Aman spent two hours questioning special operations division director Datuk Bahri Mohd Zin at the MACC’s headquarters in Putrajaya, while head of the forensic division Datuk I.G. Chandran was quizzed for three hours at the MACC Academy in Kuala Lumpur.

Senior Assistant Commissioner Tuan Ruslan Tuan Mat was interviewed at the Putrajaya police station.

On Saturday, police searched the home of DPP Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi and his MACC office. Documents on 1MDB and its former subsidiary SRC International as well as laptops were taken away by police.

This came after the arrest of Ahmad Sazilee, former MAC advisory board member Tan Sri Rashpal Singh and Attorney-General’s Chambers finance and anti-money laundering secretariat member Jessica Gurmeet Kaur. They were detained to assist police investigations on the alleged leak.
