THE Terengganu Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested a policeman who was believed to have solicited and accepted a bribe of RM2,000 from two men in a drug-related case.

According to a source, following a police raid on a house last month, the two men were detained on suspicion of being involved in the use of banned substances.

The suspect took the two men for a urine test and later asked them for RM2,000 as an inducement that no action will be taken against them.

The 30-year-old suspect was arrested in a district in Terengganu this afternoon and will be brought to the Kuala Terengganu Magistrate’s Court tomorrow to obtain a remand order.

Terengganu MACC director Hazrul Shazreen Abd Yazid when contacted confirmed the arrest, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act 2009. – Bernama, October 8, 2023.
