Senior enforcement officer nabbed for allegedly accepting cash, valuable items worth RM14,000
KOTA BARU: A senior enforcement officer was arrested by the Kelantan Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today for allegedly receiving valuable items and cash amounting to RM14,000 from a contractor.
Sources said the 40-year-old man was detained after giving his statement at the state MACC office around 1pm.
"MACC officers detained the man after he completed giving his statement to investigators," the source said.
The arrest was reportedly made following a complaint lodged by the contractor several months ago.
The case is being investigated under Section 165 of the Penal Code for accepting a valuable item without adequate consideration, potentially with corrupt intent, by a public servant.
It is understood that the officer previously served in the Machang district but was transferred to another state a few years ago.
Kelantan MACC director Rusli Husain confirmed the arrest.
