In a statement on Tuesday (June 10), EAIC said several individuals who tested positive for drugs were released during the operation, which is an offence under Section 221 of the Penal Code.

Following this, the EAIC said it referred its findings to the Public Prosecutor under subparagraph 30(1)(c) of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009.

The EAIC also said that the officers' misconduct would be referred to its disciplinary authority with a recommendation for disciplinary action under subparagraph 30(1)(b) of the EAIC Act.

An investigation was then conducted based on the complaint in accordance with subsection 27(4) of the EAIC Act. – Bernama
