PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is looking into whether more senior police officers were in cahoots with a Kuala Lumpur senior cop, who has been detained for accepting bribes to conceal illegal activities.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said he did not discount the fact that the police officer was not acting alone.
"We have seized RM1.2 million, but we are investigating the extent of further bribe receipts, the sources of those bribes, and the involvement of other individuals.
"It could also involve his senior officers. We are looking into that now," Azam said today.
He added that police have extended the senior officer's remand for three days, and that he remains in custody.
MACC is now examining how the bribes were used.
Last week, MACC detained and remanded the senior officer and another policeman for allegedly accepting bribes to protect illicit activities, such as gambling, prostitution and gangsterism, in Kuala Lumpur.
