‘We don’t investigate crimes over the phone’


KUALA LUMPUR: Government and law enforcement agencies do not transfer calls between themselves to investigate fraud, money laundering or any other crime, says Bukit Aman.

Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Zainuddin Yaacob (pic) said the police and other government agencies do not have such levels of interconnectivity, which means the police officer can only transfer a call to another policeman and not to a completely separate agency.
