MACC denies officers pointed weapon at Albert Tei during arrest


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has refuted claims that its officers pointed a weapon at businessman Albert Tei during his arrest.

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the arrest at Tei’s residence on Friday (Nov 28) was conducted in accordance with established procedures.

"A police report has been lodged today to enable the relevant authorities to investigate the slander made against the MACC officers involved.

"The police report is also to ensure that no parties disseminate any unverified information, possibly with the intention of disrupting the investigation currently being undertaken by MACC," he added.
