THE Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) today denied issuing a media statement on the prosecution of Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Zuki Ali.

It was referring to a media statement “PN. PRO.100-3/6/4 Jld.5(11) Pendakwaan ke Atas Zuki Bin Ali – Ketua Setiausaha Negara” dated May 5, 2023.

In a statement today, the AGC said the false media statement, which used the national emblem and the AGC’s name, stated the agency had received an investigation paper on the allegations against Zuki from the prime minister’s special officer on the instructions of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

It also said the chief secretary to the government’s name in the media statement was not accurate.

The false media statement also stated that the decision to prosecute Zuki was based on evidence and facts of the investigation and not due to pressure from any party or other factors. – Bernama, May 7, 2023.
