MACC nabs third cop in RM15mil false claims probe
KUALA LUMPUR: Another police officer has been detained in an ongoing investigation by graft busters into a false claim of RM15mil involving the Command & Control, Communication & Computer Integration (C4i) system procurement contract. This brings the total of those detained in the case to seven individuals. The C4i system is aimed at strengthening policing by improving the monitoring, communication and coordination within the police force with the goal to reduce crimes. Sources said the 54-year-old male suspect, who holds the rank of superintendent, was detained by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on Friday. 'He is believed to have accepted bribes from contractors and subcontractors for the procurement of a service contract to maintain the C4i system,' a source said. The man has since been remanded for seven days. MACC officers conducted searches at his office and home in Semenyih, seizing documents that showed he received bribes from the contractors, sources said. 'So far, the MACC has frozen and seized RM7.6mil in funds and assets,' they said, adding that MACC recorded the statements of 15 witnesses and detainees. Previously, six people, including a company director, a chief financial officer and two police officers with the ranks of superintendent and inspector were detained over the same case. Sources said the suspects – five men and a woman aged between 30 and 60 – were detained in an operation codenamed Ops C4i at about 8pm on Wednesday after their statements were recorded at the MACC headquarters. 'Initial investigation indicated that all suspects were believed to have committed the offence between 2022 and 2025. 'They had conspired to make a false claim worth RM15mil, but some of the work did not meet the requirements of the contract,' they added. A source said the Home Ministry had granted the project, which has an overall worth of RM70mil, to the police force.
