THE police have completed investigations on the leaked letter that was sent to the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) director, Gina Haspel, said Mohamad Fuzi Harun today.

The country’s top cop told reporters at the Royal Malaysian Police College this morning that the investigation paper had been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for further action.

“We have completed the investigation. We are waiting for the next course of action from the AGC,” Fuzi said briefly when pressed for an update on the matter.

He declined to comment when asked if the police already knew who leaked the highly confidential letter to the public.

“I cannot comment on that. Who leaked the letter is part of our investigation,” he said.

Fuzi was asked if the Special Branch department was informed about the letter when it was sent to the CIA on May 4.

“We do not know. We are not aware of it. It was not forwarded to the SB,” he said.

It was reported a few days ago that the former director of Malaysian Extrenal Intelligence Organisation (MEIO) Hasanah Abdul Hamid lodged a police report urging for a probe into the individuals who leaked her confidential letter.

In her statement, Hasanah said the leak had destroyed the trust foreign intelligence agencies had in MEIO and jeopardised ties between the spy agency and its foreign counterparts.

“The morale of MEIO officers and agents has also been affected by the leak.

“If this can happen so easily, sources will cease (to work with the MEIO) and the trust towards the sanctity of confidential information held by MEIO will erode. This will weaken national security,” Hasanah wrote in her statement, read by her lawyer, Shaharudin Ali.

Shaharudin said the letter was genuine and that the former prime minister did not have to know about the letter, as it was part of the organisation’s routine.

“It was part of its operational matters. The PM (former) did not have to know. There are matters that the organisation has to let the cabinet and PM know, but it was not necessary for them to be informed of this matter,” Shaharudin said. – August 2, 2018.
