Local enforcement possibly bribed by international scam syndicate, says MACC chief

PUTRAJAYA: Local enforcement officers might have been bribed in order to turn a blind eye to the international scam syndicate busted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Immigration Department recently, says Tan Sri Azam Baki (pic).

"I cannot reveal much now, but we are confident that certain authorities were protecting them. In what way were they protected we do not know yet but we are investigating further," said the MACC chief commissioner.
