DEPUTY Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani today confirmed that two senior officers from Bukit Aman CID were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday.

Without disclosing details of the case, he said the federal police had not received a full report on the detention.

“Until now, we are still waiting to know whether the two officers were detained over a money laundering case or something else.

“I cannot comment further as the investigation by the MACC is ongoing,” he said at an event in Cheras.

Meanwhile, Acryl Sani said police were carrying out an internal investigation into social media allegations about police officers involved in money laundering linked to businesses run by a performing arts couple.

“We are waiting for a report from the department of integrity and standard compliance before taking further action,” he added.

Bernama had earlier reported that the MACC had called the couple for their statements to be taken about the case. – Bernama, October 7, 2020.
