KOTA BARU – Three more policemen were ordered to be remanded for four days today to assist the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation into allegations of a senior police officer soliciting a RM200,000 bribe from a drug-dealing couple.
The remand order against the three policemen, comprising a sergeant, a corporal and a lance corporal in their 30s and 40s, which is for four days until Thursday, was issued by the Kota Baru magistrates’ court registrar Nor Faezah Abdullah.
According to a MACC source, the three policemen, all from the Pasir Mas district police headquarters, were arrested after the MACC recorded their statements yesterday.
Faezah also issued an order to extend the remand of a police officer with the rank of ASP, who was arrested over the same case, for another four days.
The police officer was arrested last Friday and the next day, another police officer, with the rank of DSP, was arrested in connection with the case. – Bernama, July 12, 2021
