PUTRAJAYA: An anti-graft officer will be charged with the alleged loss of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s case items involving US$6mil (RM25mil).

The 40-year-old is expected to be brought before the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court at 8.30am on Tuesday .While the commission is tight-lipped on details of the charges to be brought against one of its own, it is believed that the suspect will be slapped with charges under the Penal Code.

On Sept 21, the MACC had confirmed that three of its senior officers were remanded for six days to assist in the investigation into allegations of abuse of power and malfeasance. The case items in question is that of former head of the Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation Datuk Hasanah Ab Hamid, who in April last year was granted a discharge not amounting to an acquittal by the High Court for criminal breach of trust involving RM50.4mil of government funds.It was reported that Hasanah had attempted to reclaim the seized money but found part of it missing and replaced with counterfeit notes.
