‘MACC probe of judge did not follow protocol’

PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation into Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali was carried out without following protocol and showed a lack of bona fide, the Federal Court has ruled.

A seven-judge panel chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat held that while criminal investigative bodies were constitutionally entitled to investigate and to conduct criminal proceedings against superior court judges, such powers must be exercised in good faith and only in genuine cases.
