Top MACC officer claims trial to CBT of RM29mil linked to ex-spy's case

According to the charge sheet, Shahrum was charged in his capacity as a civil servant - specifically a Grade 44 senior enforcer - whereby he was entrusted with the monies and committed criminal breach of trust involving the said monies.

The offence was allegedly committed between Dec 17, 2018 and April 9, 2019 at the Special Action Branch division chief's room at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters, Putrajaya.This comes after the MACC said on Monday that a Grade 41 anti-graft officer will be charged with the alleged loss of case items that belonged to the Commission.

The case items in question are that of former Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation head 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.

On Sept 21 last year, 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.
