Terengganu MACC detains cop for soliciting bribe


KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has arrested a policeman believed to have solicited and accepted a bribe of RM2,000.

According to a source, following a police raid on a house last month, the two men were detained on suspicion of being involved in using banned substances.

The suspect then was said to have taken the two men for a urine test and later asked them for RM2,000 so that no action would be taken against them.

The 30-year-old suspect was arrested in a district in Terengganu this afternoon and will be brought to the Kuala Terengganu Magistrate's Court on Monday (Oct 8) to obtain a remand order.

Meanwhile, when contacted, Terengganu MACC director Hazrul Shazreen Abd Yazid confirmed the arrest, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 17 (a) of the MACC Act 2009 for soliciting and receiving a bribe.- Bernama
