Sources said the 12, with the ranks of Superintendent, Assistant Superindent and Inspector, were picked up at their workplaces, including the state police contingent headquarters here and the district police headquarters on the mainland.
It is believed that the officers from the public order and traffic department have accepted payments from transportation companies as an inducement not to take action against their drivers for various offences."The anti-graft agency has been carrying our surveillance against the officers since receiving a tip off in May last year," a source told the New Straits Times today.
The matter is being investigated under Section 17 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009."The MACC feels that there is a need to remand these officers for further investigations. We will apply in court tomorrow," the source said.
"The nature of MACC's investigation against the men-in-blue is exactly the same with that of the state RTD's lorry protection racket last year," the source further added. To date, more than 50 low-ranking state RTD enforcement and former Land Public Transport Commission officials have been charged in connection with the scandal that rocked the state RTD."The case is pending investigations," he added.
