No need for probe on RM12m ransom money, IGP says
(MMO) – Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said today there will not be any investigation on the RM12 million in public donations channelled to the Philippines for the freedom of four Sarawakian sailors abducted by Abu Sayyaf terrorists.
He added that police involvement was unnecessary as the money did not pass through their hands.
“Why must we open an enquiry about it now? I have already explained what happened to the cash. There is no reason for us to conduct any enquiry as we were not involved,” he told reporters at the national police headquarters in Bukit Aman.
“I do not know, but police will not investigate because we know where the money went and I have already explained it.
“So I am not going to go back-and-forth on something which I have already explained,” he added.
