KANGAR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has detained another Kedah/Perlis Maritime enforcement personnel to facilitate investigations into a protection racket.

According to a source, the petty officer, aged 49, was detained at the Langkawi MACC office at 11.35am Tuesday after he showed up to give his statement.

He is suspected to be involved in soliciting monthly payments from fishermen as an inducement to help their movements at sea and the payments were believed to be paid in transactions, cash or middlemen. "He will be released after his statement has been taken. The total number of arrests is currently 15,” the source said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 17 of the MACC Act 2009.Article type: free
