MACC launches new probe after bribery allegations revived

By FMT Reporters · 10 Oct, 20:30 MYT

MACC said the case was revived on social media, leading to a special team being set up to further investigate the matter. PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has formed a special team to investigate bribery allegations against a senior officer involving RM350,000 that have been revived on social media.

The anti-graft agency said the case was investigated in 2018 and closed after no wrongdoing was proven.

"However, due to the resurgence of the issue, MACC chief commissioner Abd Halim Aman ordered the immediate establishment of a special team to review and re-examine the matter," MACC said in a statement.

"This step was taken to ensure the integrity of MACC is maintained, and public confidence in this institution is not compromised," said the agency.
