Officers and Wife Remanded for Five Days for Bribery Investigation

Two senior enforcement officers and the wife of one of them have been remanded for five days, commencing June 24, to facilitate an investigation into allegations of accepting a RM30,000 bribe. This sum was reportedly solicited in 2021 to secure the release of three individuals arrested in connection with a drug case. The suspects, whose ages range from 36 to 41, were apprehended at the Terengganu Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office.
Remand Period and Legal Basis

The remand order, issued by Senior Assistant Registrar Yuhanis Mohd Roslan at the Magistrate’s Court in Kuala Terengganu, will last for five days from June 24. This judicial action is in accordance with investigations being conducted under Section 16(a)(B) of the MACC Act. This section of the act pertains to individuals who solicit or accept bribes.
Allegations of Bribery

Sources indicate that the two senior officers are alleged to have asked for and subsequently accepted a bribe amounting to RM30,000 in 2021. The bribe was purportedly offered by a man seeking the release of his friends who had been arrested for a drug-related offence. The investigation is focusing on the circumstances surrounding this alleged transaction.
Suspects' Involvement and Suspected Use of Funds

The individuals on remand include two officers and the wife of one of them. One of the officers, who is employed in Kedah, and his wife are believed to have utilised the bribe money for online gambling activities. Further investigation suggests that the funds may have been channelled through a third-party account before being deposited into the woman's account.
