MACC chief should bow out, let police investigate stolen monies: Fahmi

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – The three Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers detained over alleged misappropriation of monies classified as evidence should be investigated by police, according to Fahmi Fadzil (Lembah Pantai-PH).

The RM50.4 million was seized from Malaysia External Intelligence Organisation (MEIO) chief Datuk Hasanah Abdul Hamid by the MACC.

It is also alleged that the misappropriated funds were replaced with counterfeit banknotes.

“This is surprising because the detention of MACC officers was done by MACC itself,” Fahmi said during a parliamentary press conference today.

The PKR lawmaker said there are five Penal Code offences that may have been violated, which should prompt a response from police.
