THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has picked up one of its own officers and three other individuals on Thursday for allegedly soliciting and taking bribes amounting to RM400,000 to avoid a probe over the Jana Wibawa programme. 

A source said one of the four, a woman, was released on MACC bail while the remaining suspects were remanded until tomorrow. 

The source also said MACC is now tracking down a man known as “Datuk Roy”, who is believed to be the key planner in the corruption case. 

“The man in his 50s was previously charged in court and was sentenced to jail on a corruption offence,” the source told Bernama today. 

Meanwhile, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki, when contacted by Bernama, confirmed the matter.

“MACC will not compromise with any of its officers found violating the law,” he said. – Bernama, March 12, 2023.
