KUALA LUMPUR – Police will never reveal the list of 34 uniformed personnel involved with Geng Nicky and fugitive businessman Datuk Seri Nicky Liow Soon Hee, said Johor’s top cop Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.

Speaking at a press conference, he said they will be arrested in due time.

“We are preparing the investigation papers and once they are completed, we will arrest them. I will charge them for organised crime. That is the most accurate, simplest and firm action I can take but I must ensure that I have enough evidence.

“Please give me some time. The list will never be revealed. So, please stop asking me or Bukit Aman about it.”

On March 30, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador revealed that there were “traitors” in enforcement bodies with 34 uniformed personnel from various agencies in cahoots with the gang, hours after the police nabbed 68 of the gang’s members.

Hamid plans on taking action against police officers who allegedly helped the syndicate.

“No more warnings. Sufficient warnings have been given in the past for them to sever any ties with this gang. “But it looks like there are some traitors in the force,” he said.

On April 9, 14 members of the gang including four Chinese nationals and three with the title of Datuk and one with a Datuk Seri were charged at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court.

Nicky was charged in absentia while his siblings Datuk Liow Wei Kin and Liow Wei Loon were brought to court. – The Vibes, April 14, 2021
